[s-cars] Pistons and Rods for the AAN

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

Keep in mind that Javad's car goes to the strip, and to the dyno... not much else AFAIK.  No matter who makes them, aluminum rods are not intended to run in a street application... and will not offer the durability most folks are seeking.
 
Pauter or Carillo are proven performers.  If you want lightweight, you should consider titanium over aluminum... IMO.

I think many of us have "heard" about problems with Eagle/Eurospec
rods, but Javad is making well OVER 600 wheel horsepower in his 5
cylinder with Eagle rods, ruining almost 35+ PSI, up to 8,000 RPM.

That's enough to rest the fears that anyone may have from hearing
about seomone's brother's, friend's, cousin's, uncle's, boss's,
father's, best-friend's engine grenading with Eagle/Eurospec rods.

Rod's bend from bad software.
