Warning to all who want to install at Whipple Stage 2 into their non-forged rod/piston S550!!! At only 6k miles my engine failed. Analysis at teardown: Bent rod, friction on the piston sleeve, sleeve failure at the weak part of the block, block failure at the water jacket. Long story short: Don't go Stage 2 without all forged internals. The crank is forged but the pistons and rods are not. If this was explained to me by the dealer at the Point of Sale I would have definitely had engine pulled and upgraded.
