titanium rods
Ti= High Budget Road race engine
Aluminum= All out Drag Motor
Steel= What 99% of the Sportsman/weekend warriors use and can take more than enough HP/TQ for what the Average guy will use them for.

I've already got some, but I'm also interested for future reference. I used stockers with re-bushed small end form Katech and ARP Ti rod bolts, I want to run past 7K easily. I've sen several sets go on E-bay for $600-800 + $700 rebush and $160 for the bolts. PM me for ARP part # or check my other posts.

Katech can rebush them and ARP has a bolt that comes close. I've listed the part# in another post. your machine shop will have to take 4-5 thou off the ends to make them clear everything. direct replacement willbe out in a couple of months according to Jay at ARP. I sdon;t know how long it takes katech to get the rods rebushed as I've been waiting for my 4.185 pistons for 9 weeks, 10.5 by the tiem I get them.

Being a gunmaker, I've seen more and more powdered metal parts being made for auto pistols.
While billet is always the preferred material, the powdered stuff does seem to take a beating quite well. Hammers, sear surfaces, etc. . .
The claim is that the grain flow is unidirectional although I wonder if it really means anything when it basically starts out as a pile of talcum powder.
As for weight/strength of Ti.
Think strength of steel
Heat tolerance near that of Inconnel/Invar
Weight of aluminum
Machines like a pain in the rear!
