Re: Piston rods??
H22? For that kind of power, Manley turbo tuffs. They are worth the extra $$$. At 700 you will be pushing the limits of a standard H beam forged rod, at 1000 you will be sending them into the stratosphere in pieces.

Re: Piston rods??
Here is a good tidbit from a thread in the Forced induction Forum last month....
Nobody that runs a track car making 800+ wheel HP is running Chinese (Eagle, Crower Sportsman, CXRacing, Skunk2, Speed Factory, etc.) Steel rods... they are either using high end steel rods like Manley Turbo Tuff, Crower Billet, Pauter, Carrillo, Saenz or an Aluminum rod... I personally just witnessed a pair of Eagle rods free themselves from the confines of an H22A on the dyno at 700 whp... proof that trying to save a few hundred bucks on the rods will cost you THOUSANDS on the rebuild when they fail !!!
