This post is for someone looking to make good power on motor and have smooth driveability. You go on about your 5.95 rods and you don't have a clue what you are talking about. 302 engines have the same 1.7 rod ratio as a 351 because of the shorter stroke crank. Do your math! By the way i run 11.70s with a 302 on stock bottom end shifting at 6700 rpm on motor. Remember, shops are in business to make money. Insurance by way of using better parts is great. Don't tell someone it can not be done. My motor is only at 6700 rpm for a few seconds out of an 11 second run. I have never seen or broke a factory 302 rod before the block gives!
