Stock Rods??? What rods is everyone using? And how many are using the stock rods with their blower? I only plan on shifting my car at 6,100 rpm with my 8# ATI kit. Do I really need to replace my rods? BTW, I'm replacing my pistons with 9.5/1 Diamond pistons.
Re: Stock Rods??? alot of people are using stock rods for setups over 500rwhp. they just replaced the pistons, and wrist pins.
I switched to eagle rods when i built my engine though.

Re: Stock Rods??? I'm going to be using eagle rods as well...its cheaper not to use them, but the way I look at it, while your in there you might as well replace them w/some stronger ones...even though the machine shop bill might be bigger due to the fact that the whole thing has to get balanced...
