Bob, on other forums I've commented (and questioned) the combination of this low rod to stroke ratio on this package in regard to ring seal and ultimately life span... Any comment on a 1.3 compression height and 1.5 R/S? My assertion is that it should be expected to live a shorter life than a 4" arm and that the gain in power for that little more stroke isnt worth the expense.
while i wont comment on the CH, RS ratio or any balancer issues ( LOL) I will tell you that I put the BPE crank, Pistons and compstar rods together cheaper then a 4" stock mopar rod sized combo - rod's pistons come with pins and rings and it was in fact cheaper then a standard 4" stroker combo.
