LT4 Rods in LQ9 Build
LT4 Rods in LQ9 Build Quick Question - I cant find the rod specs for the current Gen LT4SC. But it appears as if theyre same as LS just piecing the information together - 6.125/2.100/.927
Ive got 2 builds happening right now. A budget 6.0 and a not so budget 6.0. For the not so budget Ive picked up Lunati H beams.
Would these be suitable for the budget build? What material are they? Since theyre ina 650hp factory car, and theyre factory rods, would it be reasonable to suspect they'll hold even more HP. Most know how strong the stock bottom is.
Thoughts? I tried searching and couldnt find much.

So I'll just buy hyper-e pistons for the "budget build" in stock LS1 stroke.

Verdad Gallardo Dude says he's including og bearings. Whole set rods with coated bearings for $199. Good for budget. I'll get ahold of you for pistons.

That's a fairly large spread in weights between the two sets pictured. Are there part numbers on the side?
It surprises me they went to .943 and a steel rod when the LS9 was .984, 5.990 and Ti.

Not the first time whats published isnt correct. Those are actual measurements as well.
