GRP rods with 223 passes..... Bearings looked good when took apart over the winter.... Question is should i run them another 100 or so passes or chunk them... Motor is a 572 that never see's over 6800 rpm and 1/8th mile races only.

It would matter how much the pistons weigh.. GRP told
me I could get well over 400 passes with higher rpm

Piston weighs 606 grams... I have always ran Bill Miller rods and have ran them 600 passes without problems but this is my 1st set of GRPs

I'd probably run them, or sell them to someone on a tight budget.

BME is a forged alum ros and the GRP is a Billet rod from what I understood from GRP.

Just put pass 317 on mine last weekend. They are in there for this year again.

If those were mine I would expect to get a couple more seasons out of them.
