Turbo applications would likely be in a tensile load as their is always a positive pressure on the piston.

Not so much on the exhaust stroke of a blower motor however.

GRP = good stuff but like Brian said the aluminum rods have a limited life. GRP Ti rods are awesome but at $3600 per set, out of most peoples budget.

We sell them at W2W also. The typical rod we use from them is 6.125 on center with the 3.5 ARP bolt, they run around $1700.

Until someone does some scientific testing involving lateral forces required to bend a rod, pulling them apart in tension to actually test strength quantitatively, counted cycle testing, etc., nobody can say for sure what the strongest rod is, it's nothing but opinions.
