Then i bought a set of lunati pistons for 5.7 with scat rods and crank same damper and flexplate and the first pass was 11.24 in a hot day, the mechanic installed 4 pistons the wrong way and the valves was hitting the pistons from the begining, i broke a piston in the second pass but i am sure that i could ran at least 11.10 in the same weather conditions than the stock rods, both engines was 10.8 cr.
Now (check my sig) i am running 11.40cr more gears, a little big tires and cam and the best e.t. in winter is 11.01, i ran a best of 11.20 last fryday but the summer is very hot here. I really dont see a big diference between the 3 combos.

K-Star automotive said:One thing i have found over the last 3 or so years of this fight is that not one single person has had proof about rod length making or loosing HP... not one!!!!! The only way you can prove it is with A-B-A testing,, there is no other way.. if you change anything other then rod length it is not a true test....
