Geez after reading this post I can't understand why anyone
Would want to run aluminum rods. Seems like a huge waste of money
Hell one guy has over 100 rods laying around!!! That's got to be
Over $10,000 worth. Could have installed twin turbos with all that wasted money
Why not just buy a set of Oliver billet steels and be done with it??


I an N/A application, I've seen more failures with steel than aluminum, and I wouldn't think you would run steel in a turbo deal with big boost? Look at what people run in 1000 HP stuff, and what holds up. I had a failure with Oliver billet rods ($1470 from Barton) they lasted 93 passes. I run GRP aluminum rods for 250 runs ($1000), no failure. That's in S/C too, and I'm not blaming the Oliver product, but less bob weight is easier on parts IMO.
