I got a break on them since I used to work @ a local speed shop. MSRP is about 1500 for rods and 800 for pistons.

I've met Tecni in person hes a down to earth person. Has some cool goals, and as for the modifications he wants 800 reliable wheel horse power.

I suppose at 800rwhp, I wouldn't be very comfortable with stock rods either. And hey, if he's got the money for some nice rods like those, go for it!

No, I'm not one to modify for the hell of it. I've just been modifying cars and bikes long enough to realize that its better to do it right the first time around.

I'd have to agree with Tecni as well. You should see the VK rods, they are even smaller.

Be ready to drop a hefty lump sum at your local polishing shop. When the guy saw how many nooks and crevices the covers had he nearly had seizure.

That's why I just painted everything flat black. About 10 bucks and 10 minutes. LoL It's ghetto but it doesn't make it go any faster.

I'm looking into getting the pulleys coated in a copper color. I think the combination will look pretty nice.

VERY nice design for the mounts...you should do up a jig to reproduce them once more ppl get into modding the z/g.

Are those off the shelf fuel rails that lined up with the VH45 injector spacing??Do share as to what car they are off of.

If not looks awesome either way.

Not quite. They are just generic racing fuel rails and all I did was make measurements and drill holes in the right places. They were also a little long so I had to cut about a 1/2 inch off each side.

I tried to find the right AN fittings for the ends but I couldn't find one I could easily just tap a thread and screw it in so I just got them welded.

I've actually been meaning to talk to you. If you can, give me a call at 407 797 9624 or shoot me your email ([email protected]). I don't understand why this forum doesn't have PM's.
