It is actually a CP-Carrillo custom made part. Atelier HP helped me with the specs I needed to get the rods and pistons made.

Denis is your go to guy at Atelier and knows his stuff. Contact him at Atelier HP

Also CP-Carrillo parts are not cheap, I paid $950 for the rods. You are paying for the reputation of high end quality stuff in my own opinion.

Glad I saw this thread. Nice story all around.



I blew two factory motors at around ~300whp also. That's about all it will take unless you lower the compression and baby it so that the pistons/rings don't heat up. 250whp is a good safe limit.



Can't wait to see more.
