506RR,

looking back over a few of your posts I see your spraying your motor, which with my understanding of NOS would probably add to the stress on the rod, right? How many passes have you put on the new rods? Have you torn down since installing them? Do you know how they checked out ootb? So far the only downside I see to the rods is the 1.07" big end width, but I'm waiting to hear back from Howards to see what they measure as well.

thanks for the info!



No passes on these new ARP 2000 rods yet. We have been using the Eagle rods below these with the 8740 rod bolts for the last few seasons. No problems. Measured great after this last season. Upgraded to the new rods for peace of mind because we are turning up the power in 2013.

New rods are currently at machine shop. They should be getting measured this week.

Lots of guys running Eagle rods with quite a bit more horsepower than I make, with a lot more nitrous than I am spraying.
