Most of those NASCAR takeouts have very small pins and rod journals. Also, the rods use small, very high dollar fasteners, I have seen them with 5/16" bolts, meaning they need a very lightweight piston and short stroke.

I believe the rods themselves are incredibly strong and lightweight. Calculate the piston max acceleration for a 3.31" stroke and 9500 rpm.

Well a set of Pankl rods is like $5K new so stands to reason anything associated with them is likley kinda spendy. As for the rods they are the cats meow.
