So what about the rods what power can they take?

M5 TT · 07-18-2020, 01:15 PM

As we find more and more power from the S58 what do we reckon about the rods and their limit??

Big turbo slow spool will save the bottom end to some degree, but power is rising quickly.

When I ran my GTR R35 you could bend a rob on stock turbos with relative ease.

Seems like some of these cars running E85 must be over 800nm and 700bhp

Already the OTS E30 BM3 tune gives you over 700 bhp.

That's a little misleading since he said "Dynocom’s can be a little on the generous side" LOL

However, I do have a E50 custom tune from Paul but am not in the mid 10s.
