Yeah, normally its the good ole MPG theory

But in this case thats out the window here. Might as well just run fuel line down the intake and let her rip

gee I wonder why??? lol

« **Reply #18 on:** December 20, 2007, 08:47:17 PM »

Those are some thick F'in rods!

« **Reply #19 on:** December 20, 2007, 09:12:09 PM »

Curious how many of us run them allynuminum (misspelled on purpose) rod things. I'm a steel kind of guy but given the maintenance and care that we give these motors, I bet those rods would last a surprisingly long time.

« **Reply #20 on:** December 20, 2007, 10:35:15 PM »

Personally I'm big on I's andf H's Crazy though if you look hard at the upper rod and lower cap "halves" they freeze them and break them vs cut and machine no two are exactly alike Tom

« **Reply #21 on:** December 20, 2007, 11:29:30 PM »

Aluminum rods are good stuff. They usually require some clearancing handle great power and actaully absorb some shock and vibration.

The bad
If you use them for drag racing you can get about 70 runs out of them before they need replacing. Brooks, Child&Albert,Oliver, Howard etc. all make em and alot of em are used in Top Fuel, alky etc.
