Well thats a good question, this my sound odd but I was told that Ti rods can't handle high compression? Odd coz I always thought that Titainum was stronger than steel? Perhaps someone could set us right..?

Or is it that Titainum rods in order to be lighter just rev harder at low compresion, whereas if they were to withstand Higer compresion they would fail at such loads. Hence low comp with ti rods = more power top end.. Or high comp with steel rods = more power low end... Right?
