I'll research rods some more tonight. What alloy are the pistons made up of? Rate of expansion will impact how tight we can make the cylinder and with the skirt coatings we may be able to tweak that a bit to gain piston stability with the longer rod.
Everything I've read thus far shows pretty significant gains for longer rods. Especially when considering things like static compression ratio. I don't want to go crazy, but I don't want to be kicking myself later. I guess it's just about finding a balance.
Have you thrown this over into the v6power.net forums at all? I would think some of the 3.8 guys over there may have an interest.
Tomorrow AM still drop dead, or do you want to move it to Monday? I'll get the money to you regardless and you can just return it if the stuff falls through.
