Who runs Crower Rods?

I'm thinking of getting a set and am interested in the strength and any other issues from them. Thanks,

Wes

From what I know, the rods are good, but you would want to have the rod bolts changed out to ARP's. By the time you add $100 for this, you can buy another rod that is a little better and comes with the ARP bolts. That's just the info I got when I was calling about them.

I was told the Crower's were good to 650FWHP, which is about what I'm looking for but I didn't know about the bolts. Thanks alot,

I'm planning on running them in my 6.0 liter I'm planning on building, which should make around 525 or 550fwhp and then a good 200 shot or better on top of that.

That's why most people get the Eagle's. There good for the same HP, but come with the good bolts.

I heard the Eagle's weren't a "true" ls1 rod but I don't see how it would matter if it makes sense mathematically?

Waste of money on the rod bolts if you are already getting some damn good bolts. Plus if those rods are rated at 650 FWHP continously with the capscrews! What i mean that rating is for circle track racing. Those puppies will handle a lot more. I got them and I did reasearch and everything on every part I bought. Those Crowers are lighter or damn close to the same weight of the lunati light weight rods. their strength is very acceptable. I would definitely recommend these to everyone that is looking for rods.
