Please read the FAQ. Just about everything you would want to know is in there. If it's not in there then feel free to post.

And since I'm feeling gracious, yes. All CA18DE(T)s had forged rods. They don't seem to have a HP limit so much as a rev limit. The stock bolts are sized a bit small and the theory is that they stretch when over revved. ARP rod bolts should fix the problem though.
