can someone help me out thanks for your time

 

IMO your going to want to contact someone like rota92 who can get you what you need at fair prices. He deals with Golden Eagle. PM him, he can share lots of knowledge with you.

You can also contact guy's like Jeff@Tempest or Tony1. They also have lots of good info.

I see your from MA, rota's from north centeral CT.

i love people theories on aluminum rods.

It seems alot of people are affraid of them for no reason.

 

How do they work for you?

Supposedly there is a "sportsman" car that has been on the same set of aluminum rods for 2 full seasons now. Seems to be the only part in the motor that hasn't broken yet lol

I love them. Some people have issues with them but i think thats just due to the lack of knowledge out there. I have done a good amount of 4 cyl engines with them over the years from honda, toyota 3sgte to 4g63 stroker engines and have yet to have any issues. I will say that GRP makes a superior rod compared to some of the others i have used in the past.

not really sure who it is you are referring to, but congrats to whomever it may be.

 

I like them too. About the sportsman car that is nice!

 

i know of people going 1 season on same rods & they are still good but change them anyways. always good 2 start new season on a fresh motor

Open deck ,Closed deck, its been proven they both work well. If the build is done right and the tuner does his part, you can get either to work for you....

that is very tru. it is deff in the tune.
ive seen some of these honda guys buy these e-bay kits & push 20lbs with a AFC & when i asked about timing they say "what timing" lol needless to say 2 weeks latter i catch wind that the motor blew up. over & over again but most of us aint that crazy i hope.

 

i'm running a closed deck block with a BWs366 and i made 745
