Default Raptor rod - Ti or steel?

I'm leaning toward the Ti connecting rod, any reason why I shouldn't? Thanks!

Title fixed, sorry for any confusion:-)

I'd give the Ti rods a try. I have steel ones from Alba and bent them after a lazy rollover in the desert. Let me know if you get them and how you like 'em. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Where do you get the Ti and how much? Is it supposed to be as strong as the carrillo?

Don't feel bad RacerRob. I've read the title of this post several times before looking in and I was thinking he was asking about tie rods also. LMAO. Maybe I shouldn't have admitted that. Oh well. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

well i for one knew what you were talkin about. i for one can't think of any drawbacks on using the ti rod except cost. its gonna weigh less which is really good and your motor will rev faster. go for it.
