That forces you to buy rods so you can save a tiny bit of weight...while that matters much to some...its not the final word and mostly un noticable in about 80 percent of whats being built out there. Reminds me of arguing that 360s suck compared to a 340 because bearing speed is greater, though this is weight.
"i think they save more money in producing the chevy journals" Go Chevy pin, now change the piston too...wait that cost YOU more money, nice way to shift the burden ;)
I could care less what bloomer does, after this many years in the biz... I don't believe the hype.
