    I don't take it as flaming. The Eagle rods are on Tuner Toys page and they also carry Scat rods. Not using a t25. Top-end drops off too much. I want low end power but not so much that I can't use my first 2 gears because of wheel spin. You should really check out some of the other forums for d-series info. Lower compression ration=more boost.

    No... proper tuning=more boost!!! I'm running 10.5:1 Compression on 23 psi daily and have been for a while now... and I could run even more if I wanted... and as I stated before... the H beam rods on those websites are for the D16 engine... which will not work on a D15... and if you drop your compression that low on something with as little displacement as a D15, I promise you that you will not have the bottom end power that you are looking for...

    So you are running a 10.5:1 compression on your motor and it's boosted to 23 psi, interesting? I really appreciate all of the info and tuning is a definite.
