this is an interesting thread!

what about thoes aluminum Groden rods? i remember buscher saying they aren't any better than any other rod and they are so big that they are almost impossible to fit inside a stroker.

anyone?

aluminum is a stong rod material, but they usually have to be larger than normal rods to be the same strength as steal counterparts. Buschur is correct, they won't fit in the strokers and the 2.4's I believe and are very tight in the 2.0's.
If anyone wants to check out an aluminum rod, I have one out of a nitro funny car in my tool box :).

I don't believe the Grodin rods require block clearnancing to fit in a 2.0. I do think they would be better suited to a 2.14 due to the weight and the larger bores, less stroke and better rod ratio. The biggest problem with aluminum rods is that they fail due to the inertial loads on them. The compressive and tensile loads are enough that they have a relatively short effective life span before they should be replaced. Titanium is better as is 4130 because they do not fatigue in the same way that the aluminum rods do. Aluminum is not a good solution for a street car unless you don't mind swapping your rods every season.

Eagles have proven to be a nice budget rod, nuff said, from rau's 175mph traps,
Rau doesn't run Eagles rods.
