I got a set of Lunati Pro Billet 6.125 rods with less than 1700 miles on them if you're interested. They are absolutely kick *** and will definitely hold up to that power level. TR sells them for $1285 new, I'm asking $900. Let me know if you're interested.

I think I'm going with Carillos with their rod bolts for my turbo 408 build up.

Either those, or the Lunati Pro Billets.

Please share, I'm also looking for the same type of rod you're interested in.
One other rod you might want to look into are the Howards rods. I think they are around $700-800 and are not an offset SBC rod like most of the other pricey LSx rods on the market. From what I've heard, the Howards rods are damn near indestructable!

The only thing I don't like about the Howards rods (on paper at least) is the weight, they're are pretty heavy... but like I said before, you won't break them!

they are not much heavier then say a lunate i think they where in the 650 range wich isnt bad, and an extra 5 hp worth of spray will make up for that. hehe

Where did you find the Howards rods for $650?

BTW, I have a 4" Sonny Bryant crank you might be interested in. I don't think you'll find a better crank than that!!! I'm thinking about going with a 4.100" or 4.125" stroke instead... PM me if you're interested in it.


Oh yeah, no great mind here either! LOL
