but with the higher compression which the HR have is 10 to 6 and the DE are 10 to 3 would we be able to turbo with 8.5 psi without blowing the motor up??

The benefits of the beefier rod may be nice but IMO everything is offset at the same levels of the DE motor with higher compression on the HR motors. Much more prob. of detonation thus a little thicker rod cannot withstand/wont be of any benefit. Am i not right?

EDIT: Ahh. I see compression has already been mentioned on this thread.
