The books only give generalities and only for production car clearances and engine speeds.

On that note, you may want to look into Motorcycles particularly Harley XR750 , the clearances are significantly different but they arent roller bearings a STOCK XR750 is 100hp, modified its not unusual to see 150+ They take a beating on the rod bearing at high RPM in a Flat Track application.
Or even Import stuff, particulary Mitubishi, they (the ricer types) are boosting those RELIABLY to 1000hp, the Mistu bottom end is a tank and that why it has the following, PLUS they are spinning the crap out of them.
Just a thought....
