I'm not gay or anything, but that's QUITE a manly rod you have there, Red. Can I touch it?

How much did those set you back? How much weight will those add over "crappy POS?"

Man its about time! I remember hoping that Team SR could have the official release of the mad boost by our May meet! Do you think it will be done by October?

It's like watching Woody Allan standing next to John Goodman. One is definitely sturdier.

Good job Red. What's the timetable now?

Damn..those be TUFF right theres. How much scrilla those set you back?

Red

Yeah, I remember wanting to have it done by May sad.gif Dohhhhh.... Most of the setbacks are money (I'm paying for everything in cash, I decided completely against any credit) and also waiting for the work at Endyn. I'm not sure about October either, right now I'm just doing what I can for the immediate term smile.gif But having parts start showing up is definately nice!

You can just barely see it on the spec sheet, but these weigh 579 grams each. Supposedly, they're only going to be a tiny bit heavier than the stock rod. However, I'm going to try and weigh them if I get hold of a hydraulic press to remove one of the stock rods from the piston.

The rod is supposedly rated for 600+HP at 8000 RPM's.

The total cost including shipping to my door was $667.87 US Dollars. You pay half when you order, and half on delivery. Mine took 44 total days to be built (about 6 weeks) rather than the 8-12 weeks they usually quote you.

Crower already has the CNC programming to build these rods, so all you need to do is call them up and order a set. But because they don't keep any on the shelves, they're still treated as a custom order...
