tore down motor to do a headgasket job & switch to Champion GN1 "R" heads and found something a little more interesting in the bottom end...

Wow!! What brand rods were those?

well... they are the Scat rods, but when you run 29lbs of boost, burn a hole through the head gasket to a water jacket and hydro-lock a cylinder.... something has to give... seen it happen a few times before..
