Default All APE engines now using........

The Callies Compstar LS1 specific connecting rods. Our base engines were coming with the Eagle H beam connecting rods. The Callies CompStar rods are a lot better in our opinion than the Eagles. The Eagles are a good rod but now that the Callies are available we have decided to use them. Mostly for the reason of them being on center, where the Eagle rod was a standard SBC. Also I forgot to mention that the Callies Compstar's come with ARP 2000 rod bolts, the Eagles come with ARP 8740 hardware.
If you want to check out our shortblocks, you can follow the link. Our shortblocks are on sale right now too.

Thanks

I have been using some Callies rods and am roughly 650 -675 ish hp lvl and they have held up to multiple nitrous runs, I bet the limit is alot higher than this though.
