I'm building a 900-1,000hp NA and 500hp Nitrous B1 572 pump gas Drag Week motor for a buddy and thought you guys might enjoy seeing a set of very nice rods we ordered for it.

7.100 .990 pin 2.200 rod ARP 625 bolts

They are between 50-150 grams lighter than the other makers and as strong if not stronger than all of them. So we get a very nice strong steel rod with almost Aluminum rod weight.

They look wimpy next to the 7.100 Eagle rods I have but they use much better material, better strengthening processes and are cryogenic treated, stronger, much lighter and less bulky/cluby.

They have these rods in 2,500hp motor with great success.

I was sort of surprised they weren't I-beam but they said those would be 80+ grams heavier and don't need them for this application. They said that in longer rods I-beam can fold because they can't spread the load out enough.

Great small family style company to deal with, very friendly and very helpful. (thanks Monte Smith for turning me on to them!)

Here are the rods we looked, consider and compared before going with R&R.
