    X-rods worth getting?

     



    I have stocker 350 type connecting rods, that I would like to upgrade but can't go to H beams, (its a money thing). There is a set of X-rods on Rip-Bay for about 40 bucks, resized and good to go. Are they really worth getting.? Meybe throw some AARPS in them and feel a little more secure? Thanks

    throw those new arps in and you are up for machining costs to resize them. Go for a set of brand new eagle or cat I beam rods, all up they wil be cheaper and a stronger than stock rod
