No because most of the rod bearing failures and damaged bearings come from non supercharged cars.

You can't correlate that either though, since there is a LOT more non-supercharged cars vs. supercharged.

Agreed. On a percentage basis, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a difference between the FI and naturally aspirated engines.

Prove it. I totally agree there is a problem with the motors. I just don't think it has anything to do with supercharging them. Stock and modified motors seem to be failing at the same rate from what I can tell. The other categories people want to blame are hard driven and factory oil change interval motors but again no evidence they fail more frequently then others.

Please don't feed the troll.
