Connecting rod
Mr45auto, thanks for the reply, glad your riding on the edge, just don't fall off, LOL...
Most engine builders told me even the 11:1 piston I am using is stressing the stock rod too much. I will try the 12:1 stock or slight overbore piston with a ported/polished head & maybe selected bigger valves & see how she holds up. If it makes it thru the year I will tear into the bottom & replace the '01 tranny & stock rod as well. Sounds like the Texan crowd likes that setup, aluminum piston/stock rod revs faster, so I hear....
By the way, are you talking about having the Carillo rod lightened? How about spending the extra cash for the ti rod?
