Yup, 2 1/2 hours into my trip it blew going 75mph. These little V6 twin turbo engines came from the factory stock with 365hp and 420ft/lb of torque, now add on performance tunes and modifications, any weakness in the engine will be make itself known.

"cruising down the highway" and "pushed to the max" don't really belong together in the same sentence do they?

If your "cruising down the highway" your probably producing 100 hp out of darn near any engine, wouldn't consider that "pushing it to the max".

So please explain to me on why you believe (or don't believe) that my connecting rod failed?
