Connecting Rods

[Dragon_284]

Does anybody know where I can get some good after market connection rods. I have seen some on the ARP site but I think im gonna need 800hp+ connecting rods. So anyone know where I can get some that are 500 to 600 safe?

In my opinion http://www.pauter.com is the only way to go, you should see these things, they are just....damn. I think they are also rated up to something ridiculous like 1000hp, but I've never heard of one breaking. The quality of them is unbelieveable, you cant even see the break between the con rod and the cap because the machining is so perfect. I KNOW they have a KA rod, I dont know what else though.

for the stock engine?

I guess you could say for the stock engine although I am doing the KA build up before turbo.

when i say stock, i meant the KA :pface. As opposed to an SR or CA or RB.

Pauter has some of the best quality equipment I know of. Pauter has a long running history with the NHRA and NASCAR, so I would trust them first. Eagle would be a close second though. Although I don't know if this company makes any rods for the KA, check into Carrillo. I don't know much about them, but I thought I'd throw an extra option out there.
