At this point, i'm more worried about the information you have typed on here...You talk about being honest and not spreading BS...

If Marty ran a GRP aluminum rod in his engine, do you suddenly ASSume(and spread that info around) that the rods are only capable of 1600hp?

The thing with that is hundreds of high hp cars are using GRP aluminum rods so we have a lot of info to go on. As for luring you asked how I got the number….I told you……soooo. Like I said what high hp cars has run Marty’s rings…..I can’t keep up with everything.

Nice try...You CLEARLY stated that you used the 1600hp number over Marty's claims that his engine made that...Dont try to twist this around...You said something that you have ZERO clue about, and now you are being called out on it...Just admit that you dont have a friggen clue about the subject, and you are simply guessing...

No one out there as far as I know has used the rings except marty.....and he has made what others have said to be 1,600 HP, so we know they work with that number. That's why I used that number (i didn't make any number up)....no other reason. Like i said "use them" and we will have more info.
Numbers for Steve Morris hoops are out there and they are A LOT!

Heck don't worry about what i have said, I'm just going by the numbers that are out there. Get those bad boys in your block and make some HP and then we will have more info.....that would be cool!
When I'm looking into something i get ALL the info i can get on it and then come to my own conclusions......so far its worked pretty well. Just a little FYI!

Cause I dont think they were limited to the number that Marty made with them...I also dont need KRE to use them before i'm willing to try them!!!

You deserve the last part, so dont try to question it
