Heard nothing but good things about TT rods. I, myself, also have the TT rods but yet to install it yet.

Just put some TTrods,forged pistons and ARP headstuds in and turn up the boost until you reach 300whp.Not much is really needed to be honest.Good luck with your build.

They are okay I guess. I built a SOHC motor with a set of TT rods. The small end on the rods had to be opened up and rebushed to fit the wristpin but what do you expect for a $200 set of rods?

The new TT rods was redesign to fix that problem. But we'll find out when you help put my block togather.

yeah, My old old eagle rods from like 1999 or 2000 had that problem too. So I guess thise shows they were not made in the same plant because Eagle corrected their issues before TT ever came about.

Let me know when you need it done.
