Why not a aluminum rod? Help with the shock load of the nitrous not transferring to the crank or mains.
Carrillo are a lot better then these choices.
Aluminum rods on street motor is not a good idea, I've spoken to most of the aluminum rod manufactures and they don't recommend and tell me to go steel.
I guess you didn't speak with BME. Their President says (copied from BME's website):
"In a hot street application, using the aluminum rod is a no brainer," BME President, Bill Miller, said in an interview with an automotive magazine. "I don't know how the myth that aluminum rods can't be used on the street got started, but I'll guess that, back in the 60s and early-70s, they weren't making them using the process we're using today. With the material we've got and they way we manufacture the connecting rods, they'll live a couple hundred thousand miles on the street because a street application is, for the most part, low load. Our basic Aluminum Rod is made for an 1000-hp, 10,000 rpm race engine. The design criteria for the connecting rod is way overkill for what it's going see on the street. We been running aluminum rods on the street for more than two decades."
