if Area is willing to tune you .... he is hands down one of the best LSJ tuners in the world

Eh, don't be. The block is good. Theoretically the rods should be stronger. Anecdotally, that's debated.

I'm all in as of October, and I'm the one who brought it up

Seems like a tall order for stock internals regardless if powdered rods or not.

He told me about that. I wasn't too surprised. I make it no secret that my remote tunes are very much on the safe/conservative side. Add that to the fact that every car is different, and it's entirely possible.

Plus, people often underestimate that small pulley m62 cars. They have a hell of a low end grunt!

Ps, don't listen to bry. Tortoises are at minimum 6x cooler than turtles.
