Following on from here so that thread doesnt get spammed any further (Tom may wish to re run the group buy at somepoint...)

For me, getting forged rods is a must. Yea, the hdi rods may be ok up to 200bhp but I am aiming higher than that really. Plus taking this setup apart and putting it back together is a faff and preferably I would rather not keep doing it. - "Do it cheap, do it twice". When Darren was running this setup I'm sure he managed to chuck an hdi rod through the block, the thought of that ending up buried in my charger having already passed through the pump is not a nice thing to keep you off boost
I think for people who are running the 11mm, td04 & fmic the reason is more piece of mind, eliminating a known weak point in an engine can never be a bad thing. Especially if a few of us club together and go for a group buy.
Yes there are a few who have not gone forged and made good power like Dave (iirc) and so far Tom/ZX but they have the space and patience to keep ripping the block apart, I for one don't!!!
I believe that JP did run forged, and Tom now want to as well!

So Padge, here is a suitable thread for you to post up some details on the company that you have in mind!!!

Plus any thoughts/comments
