Re: what rods
Carrillo Pro H (with CARR bolts!!!)-)
Manley TT are my 2nd choice. we recently broke a Manley TT rod bolt making over 1000whp (reving to 11,980rpms)
causing a broken rod & quite a few other nice expensive items.
those are the ONLY 2 choices i would recommend in a steel rod.
if you choose the Manley TT please upgrade the rod bolts to ARP 625 bolt

Re: what rods
i know wes you run aluminums which yet again im not a fan of but hey i dont make crazy power as you do. i know tts are good rods but ive seen some instances of failure and also i may have never seen or heard of carrillo failure much because most dont spend the money

Re: what rods
i see more blocks breaking with aluminum rods than even eagle rods...i dont see the advantage of running them...i went with manley tt and the 625 bolts...but wont know for a while if they hold the power...

Re: what rods
and for you guys that work for shops rebuilding a new motor is not near as hard as the average joe who spends years saving to get to a point on competitiveness just to take a chance on blowing a motor up or have to replace parts often thats my reason for not going with aluminum rods i know the do well but the also flex and are not any stronger than a steel rod
