If the urge took you to recon your own engine, and you were going for more power, would you buy these....?

I've read over and over that 850 con rods are the weak link, as it were, so are these acceptable replacements, for high boost applications?

I've got no plans, don't worry, I just wanted to know, in case my brain decides to make plans...

i'd be more tempted to get these ones mate link (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/THS-H-Beam-Conrods-for-Volvo-S60R-T5-Conrod-Connecting_W0QQitemZ220322451067QQcmdZViewItemQQpt ZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item220322 451067&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A13 18), read a few people are using these with no problems (& the same price)

edit = those are for the S60R but they normally sell sets for the 850's as well
