Blows my mind 935hp from a car that not fully built very sexy car

I thought the same but apparently these aren't the boss rods and they are forged.The crank is forged, the pistons are still hyper-u-cracked-it. The rods are from the boss 302 and still powdered metal but proven to be pretty tough. There is a turbo boss 302 that made 1080whp on stock motor. They do have forged pistons. SBD went 9.0s at 157 in a 4100 car. Calculators put that close to 1100whp. Several 2015s are making +900whp and some even turning +7700rpm. The rpm is really the surprising part at those power levels. And most of these cars are supercharged which means parasitic loss is probably 100whp or more at max power levels. I have a set of boss 302 rods going in a 4.6. They are a good deal for 20ish dollars a rod.

They are the same rods. Part numbers are CR3Z-6200-A for the boss and CR3Z-6200-B for 2015. They are both "forged" like all powder rods cause that's part of the process. But not the same process like a hot forged block of metal. And powder rods are like everything else. They are as good as you make them. Hellcats use em, LS motors, 6.0 and 6.4 diesels use em and Rudy made around 1200hp and 2000lb-ft to the wheels on a stock 6.4. They are strong and cheap to make.
I know, right? I didn't see any engine upgrades at all. I don't think it'll last that long, unless they plan on babying the car and not getting on it much. I can't see it lasting with that much power and torque.Didn't know the stock engine could handle 945 RWHP.
It can. For a while.Didn't know the stock engine could handle 945 RWHP.
