Hi, I am a little curious to see what connecting rods and pistons some of the drag vl's out there are using in their rb30's. Feel free to include your 1/4 time with mph too. KIL-351 / CP Pistons / xxx Rods / 8.419 @ 161.56 mph slo32 / CP Pistons / Argo Rods / x.xxx @ xxx.xx mph sherif / Wiseco pistons / Argo Rods / x.xxx @ xxx.xx mph vltnitron / CP Pistons / Howards Rods / 10.2 @ 138.9 mph AVL012345 / CP Pistons / Howards Rods / x.xxx @ xxx.xx mph INFLYTmelb / Mahle Pistons / Spool Rods / x.xxx @ xxx.xx mph Not interested in x workshop spec rods / x workshop spec pistons - all a load of crap imo unless you've MADE them yourself.

argo rods /cp pistons

What time did you run?

what are howard rods worth ?

Around 16 hunge, give or take depending on exchange rates. They are custom made from Howards. I am pretty sure they just use their standard 6' c to c small block chev rods and push the wrist pin bearing and replace them with ones to suit 21mm pin diameter (sbc are around 24mm).

nice rods scare me! its something im going to fork out on!

Has anybody heard of these and what do they think? http://www.aclperformance.com.au/index.html I have a set of ACL pistons, rings, bearings and HP rods. Does anybody else use these products? Are they any good for drag racing or high boost levels. What are they like compared to other brands?

There have been a few supra guys in the states using their h-beam rods but have had them buckle when pushing decent boost. Rod failures happen with every brand but to be honest knowing some times that cars have ran, you cannot go past a set of argo or howards rods.
