No...ofcourse they should have gotten a Rod that fit the engines as they where approved instead of what they submitted..I said it before, it must have been some real Ford lovers in power there at NHRA for a while
But they needed a better rod for sure to able to be in the mix at the time.
I remember talking to Aldon Miller some 20 years ago or more when he was one of the top dogs, he said when they got to 500+ hp they started becoming hard to keep inside the block.
