    rods vs. pistons

    rod knock is purely an oil delivery issue. under ideal conditions, nothing will break. detonation kills the stock pistons. horsepower isn't going to fold a rod, over-reving will.

    launching Rpm's?

    launch RPM and method totally depends on YOUR car, location and what tires you're using. the best way to figure it out is try differing methods and see what nets you the best 60'......provided you're on a strip.

    New Ride(not a supra)

    just be careful that you keep oil in it. saturns tend to lose the oil control ring and then burn lots of oil....leading to engine failure.

    larger throttle body with MAFT Pro

    perhaps i should add some actual info- the only TBs that will bolt onto the stock flange are the stocker (duh!) and the turbo A. there are a few companies that bore out the stocker, but IMNSHO it's hardly worth it as the opening gets rather thin....
