I am very disappointed with them. I got their crank a long time ago. Very nice piece of metal, but it and the rest of my parts are no good without the connecting rods. They have failed to deliever the Pro Billet rods. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> They told Excessive Motorsports they would be in stock by the end of March. It is April now and still no rods. I even emailed Lunati and no reply. <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> I have had enough. The parts were ordered back in December. Everything is ready to go. Flippin rods are holding me up. I have now gone with Manley Rods (#15355-8) . Which BTW are of very good quality as well. Good for 800+ Hp @ 9500 rpm. They are also lighter than the Lunati. Lunati's are 670g and the Manley's are 603g. These are not back ordered. They don't have to go out and dig ore out of the ground to make them. They should be in about a week.

Your problem may be with Excessive Motorsports. To say the least, that place is a mess. If you want to hear a real nightmare story, go to www.mofba.com and page "383SS". Excessive built his motor and I think they had the engine for over a year.
I live in KC and we avoid the place like the plague.

Avoid them like the plague. They are so bad ATI took away thier line of products. I know of plenty of people that have had problems getting parts. Just avoid that place.

The Manley's are were $100 more than the Lunati rods. I think it came out to be about $1200 for rods.

You are better off with the Manley rods anyway, they are Winston cup quality rods, much better than the Lunati, IMO. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Go here to see the rods. When link comes up go to page 129. It is a .pdf used with Acrobat Reader.
