great rods http://www.catpep.com/catproducts/co...acementRod.asp

even the best will break, check out the forum :wink:

who is "They"?...just curious....what i have seen on here (RJ) is people who ask for opinions then they get an honest opinion"s".....sort of like don't ask if ya don't want to know.....

Also what i have seen here in the past is people trying to go Drag racing on a full schedule and make over the top HP and ask opinions about using certain parts not up to par for what they are wanting to do.....

to me its like putting on deodorant before you take a shower...lol :shock: .....

I have said in another post..your parts should reflect on what type of use your motor will see...

i personally have learned thru the years to spend a little more up front for proven track tested parts ..this will be much cheaper then re-doing a motor later on (longivety)...besides most of the time you are seeing guys haggling over a few hundred dollars difference from the better grade rod etc... than what they have chose to buy just becuase its a good deal ?...i DO UNDERSTAND the extra few hundred could be an issue for someone at that time...i have 2 responses for that.

#1- that person should re-evaluate if they need to be racing at this point in their life.

#2- wait another month or so until you have the extra few hundred..and do it right the 1st time....it will be cheaper in the long run trust me..even when its time to re-sale or rebuild..


The doing More with Less Theory has not always been the best MOTTO in my book.....


Now this is just My opinion..take it for what its worth...

also signsbyesa no offense here..you just opened a door that i feel passionate about...
