Not sure if anyone had mentioned this before, but whats wrong with polishing and shot peening the rods and crank? This method of strengthening is age old and produces good results....
Detonation should be addressed and cured, not masked up with stronger components...
Why 3.8? i know theres no substitute for cubes, but really, if you design the intakes and exhausts correctly, cam profile selection also, theres no reason why you shouldn't be able to see near 450 bhp from a twin turbo 3 ltr 24v running approx 8-12 pounds of boost (pump gas)
If i had the funding, i would be more than willing to put this theory into practice
Before anyone attacks, i have been in (and out) of engines for a good 14 years now, and had very good results arising from work that i have done...
(but i work from old fashion methods, not new computer generated ones, allthough iam not saying that new technology is all bad tho)
