I agree. There are many factors in finding the HP rating of a connecting rod. Even the connecting rod bolts Play a factor. I.e.: ARP 2000 vs. ARP 625+. The 625's could make the rod hold more power.
And as said earlier, I don't care if the parts are made in the US/overseas. The most important thing is if they are good. If Lonnie/TSP stands behind their product and it has a good service record then that's what matters.
– Lonnie, what's the actual rated crank power of these rods? By that I mean the power level they are warranted to. I.e. callies billet h–beams = 1500 HP
– lemons, let me know your findings on your block vs. TSP

What are you wanting to know?
We are ordering a forged rod/piston/crank 370.
A lsx short block.
And an all billet internal dart.
Okay, you went with a dart ls next block. I have a built 427 ls next in my Camaro. It keeps great oil pressure.
– I guess I just wanted to see what you built/price compared to ordering through TSP

Can't compare pricing... It was substantially less than tsp.

If I had to put a number on the rod it would be 1200HP on the Super I beam, it a phenomenal rod and built with high horsepower in mind. That being said, there is more than just horse power that affects the rod. I think if you ran 1500 HP you wouldn't have a problem in the proper application. The only problem may come if you detonate or over rev a motor. RPM plays a huge role in what any rod is capable of inside the motor. We would stand behind any of the TSP internals given their quality and strength.

No body is dancing around anything at Texas Speed. We make no bones about the rod is imported. In fact the only rods I know of available for LS engines made in the USA is the top of the line callies pro billet rods.
Nothing else to my knowledge is made in the USA. I don't know why someone thinks we're bouncing around anything. We absolutely discuss these options with customers a hundred times a day.
Its not cheap pro comp stuff, its 1000% tsp specific products designed & engineered for our applications. I have as of yet had zero failures from a TSP rod & we constantly see guys put them in applications where they make huge power. For example I've seen the TSP H beam which is priced very reasonably at over 1500hp. Does that mean I recommend it? No, but it does mean it's overbuilt. I'm very proud of the TSP rod & crankshaft lines. We have the only sub $1000 LT1 crankshafts in existence.
In fact The TSP line of products are very competitive price wise & available for tons of different applications.
Absolutely nothing at tsp is from pro comp. After I checked their supposed head studs & found they were as week as stock stuff I never even considered buying ANYTHING from them..
I can vouch for TSP's level of service. When I was ordering various parts for my last setup, they actually talked me out of buying a couple items I was ready to buy, something that's not very common.
I've also met Jason when I stopped by just to see their facility and chatted for probably 30min. Being a business owner with a lot going on, he could have easily ended the conversation in half the time, and I wouldn't have thought anything of it. Stand up guy, and I'd have no reason to doubt their claims with these rods.
The great thing about TSP is we have tons of inventory. Infact there's over 400 sets of rods in stock right now. Needless to say we have every major brand in stock & ready to go.
I just had to respond when people insinuate we just rebox these parts. I have the cad drawing & development stuff on my computer right now from the development of these parts.
