[s-cars] Rods and high HP: Oil Issue??

[Bill Mahoney]

What causes a rod to bend I wonder~
I seem to recall, (or could be making up) hearing that a likely cause of
bent rods could be a misfire or miss detonation. 
Is it not super heated pistons/rings that expand and lock up and cause
what may already be a well heated rod to bend?
Would it be too crazy to think that a properly tuned I-5 should be able
to handle 400hp without disaster?  
I say yes.

         Rosatto Style (RS)tm on my shelf;)
