I doubt Brian said it "would" fail, but I'll give you that it "could" fail. So can Oliver billet rods, and so can ANY high performance part regardless of quality or price. I built a 482 ZL1 engine for a friends Camaro 5 years ago. And somehow that Scat crank is still hanging in there with multiple 7000+ rpm blasts. I'm surprised that it hasn't broken in half yet............
