and expect to write a big check for them too. unless you are gonna run a huge crazy bore motor. and you are only doing it to drop some weight. then cool. but you can get some really nice pieces from oliver, and compstar -->sponsor makes a really nice set that will handle 1100hp If memory serves me correctly.

I looked at some BB titanium rods the other day. They are so light to pick up almost unreal. There were some aluminum small block rods there too and I swear the BB Ti rod felt lighter.

I think the Oliver Ti SB rods are about 3400 a set I saw somewhere

Do you need em no, but they would be nice combined with a light weight crank to buzz high RPMs if you can afford it.

Any word on the quality of the LS7 Ti rods yet?
