Thread: what rod's are you running????

Tweet

well i have car that run in the 9.00 all day with ARP 8740 and 2000 this has more to do with piston speed and weigth of the piston .i have mud trucks that see more rpm then a drag car

well i think about the alum bme but they would be hard to get them to miss the cam with the 5.500 crank. and there about the same price for bme any ways

yes i look at the dyers running the M300 steel but that would kill $2000.+ just can not see it and i do not want a H beam that long .but it would look cool @7.700 long???

i see your point pat... i have used there aluminum rods in alot of street engines and so far so good... imo there pistons are by far the best...i was poping ring lands with a few other piston companys and when to the bme and never had a problem again..

how much meat did you have from the 1 to 2 ring ? i have not order the psitons for the big block could add some there what do you think?

.280 from the top and .100 down from there. i was braking the top at the intake valve eyebrow....

ok i am good there 375 i not going to move that and good i think from 1to2

i would think your fine.. my piston is designed for two stages of nos both stages are 500hp.. it went over 1900hp before it started to rattle the pump on the dyno. those dynos don't like to be shocked like that.

i did talk to the guys that will make my pistons ask them to move the skrit down 3/8 more they say they can do that hope they can

that's a good idea... can't say i ever thought of that one.. i learned something today..

well i hope it will help the piston from the wobles. keep the rings more square to the wall?????????????????
