Scat Rods

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Someone can break 500hp with a 75 shot on a 14b.
He never specified what turbo he was going to use ;).

Well, he said he was going to run 30psi. That isn't going to be a 14B or 16G. A 20G won't even hold 30psi worth a crap.

Seen a couple threads on some Honda boards of guys overring motors and the pistons shattering but the Eagle rods were all still straight and in spec after hitting 12k+ rpm.

H-beam rods like the Eagles are supposed to handle RPMs better, while I-beams like Crowers handle power better. It's hard to compare a DSM to a turbo Honda with 123ft-lbs of torque. :)

123 ft.lbs?
gotta be on the spray ;).
Like everyone else has said, eagles should be good for consistant 500whp.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

I hope the Eagles hold 700whp and 600ft-lbs of torque. My tranny will probably break again before the rods do.

Matt have you looked at any of the other rod models available from BPM, Carrillo, Pauter, or Oliver?

...Just throwing out some other possibilities....

stock or race tranny? Sorry for being off topic

I already broke a race tranny.

Jakey, I have only really seen Carillo(nothing bad so far). I haven't seen anything from the others you listed, got any links?

Thanks.

Carillo has made excellent rods for years, they are definately a decent option. They are strong and pretty light and they have options between "H" beams which weigh 565 Gr each or the slightly less beefy "A" beams which weigh 515 Gr each. They are somewhat spendy but a good rod. However, for the cost, I would still say take the Eagles, they are the best deal cost/strength for an engine in the range you are looking at. The Crower and Pauters are stronger but you will pay for it and they both weigh more which does also matter. There are other options out there, but unless I got them recommended by someone I really trusted or they could back up claims that they were better, I wouldn't waste too much time investigating them.

Oh yea, Manley rods are okay, but for the same money, I would go with the crowers any day.

So for those of us who are curious about the other options, what are you referring to Mike?
