Default Name that rod
I saw this over at CSi on a guys build up. These things look pretty nasty and promising. . .almost kinda like Bill Miller Engineering (B.M.E.) rods. Anyone ?

Is this for a street car? If so it isn't a good idea. Even on a drag car it would be a pain and probably not worth it.
Al rods stretch and have to be replaced on a regular basis.

I'm pretty sure it's on a street car. If they are BME I wonder how much they go for?

I thought of that, but probably the ones with the upgraded bolts . . . or maybe they are the Econo billets from Crower

I bet these puppies would definately take some abuse.

Not on all rods and I wish I knew what it was for. Maybe something to do with not spinning rod bearings? Dunno . . .

Those are aluminum rods and they are pretty light. Actually extremely light.

care to explain why. . . other than the price tag (which isnt too far from some Pauters). I bet it would require a bit of notching.
