Question on my rods?

Im kinda scared to put the injectors in my truck. I really dont want to window a block. I got everything I need except a turbo which Im goin order in about a week but Im having second thoughts after seeing kris myers truck. If I tore my motor down and put forged rods in it what else should I do???

Which injectors you gonna run? A good tuner can detune your truck to keep you in a safe PMR range, but of course there is no guarantee.

If you are going thru the trouble of removing your engine to do rods, I would do headstuds, pushrods, and valve srpings while it was out too.

OK just a question, why would you have to pull the motor for Hybrids and not stage 2's?

Whats Beans web site, anyone know?

Because most likely with hybrids, you will feel less uneasy about throwing a rod or two if you put forged factory rods in them, instead of keeping the PMRs.
