I know Tony sells them but who is running them and at what power level?
Well I guess I'll give them a try, hopefully will be around 1100 crank hp after the build. Just wanna be careful, the stock rod just about broke the block in two when it came apart.
From my understanding rods almost always fail from stretching not compression forces. The k1 are a lot lighter than the Lunati too. You don't happen to know what a stock rod and stockp piston weigh do you.

Sometimes (most often) the bolts would let go. The metallurgy in those is vastly improved over what it once was.
Almost as often, about mid-point in the transition where the big-end is tapering down to the beam, they snapped there.
I don't remember too many on the small end, near the pin.
I've never seen a piston pin let go; the clips have come out and scored a cylinder badly, but a broken pin, no.
