I've seen a few cars running boost on them @ 8-10psi with a good tune.

Have your car tuned and don't dog the hell out of it and you'll be aiight until you save up for some TT or eagle rods

Re: d16a6 rod question

a stock sohc is good to 7k rpm but that is pushing it. You wont make any power N/A over 8k

Re: d16a6 rod question

It's turbo and I have it tuned, I shift at 6500 just to be on the safe side but I was'nt sure If the horsepower my car is making would break one or not. Thanks for the input.
