What pistons and Rods?

There are so many choices out there. I am looking to hear from some expierenced people to chime in on what choice you would make and why. The car is making about 400WHP but I want to run a big shot of N20 occasionally. The car see's more time on road courses than drag strip but I do a few drag events per year. And No I will not be spraying on the road course. Turbo is a 20G and I am not looking to step up to a "big" turbo. Any input would be appreciated

Why Groden rods? This are aluminum right? Sounds like more of a drag car combination. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Nez, Still running the Utec and lovin it. I did however have to replace the original as it fried itself and left me standed. The guys at Turbo XS were nice enough to replace it free of charge.

Why is that a weird choice?



Oh, and for rods, there's lots of good choices, Pauter, Crower, Oliver any one of those will work fine. If you want something lighter, look at Carrillo, not as strong as the others IMO, but your not pushing 700+whp either.

you want the best money rod piston combo that is good for daily driver and r/c use.

Eagle rods and wiseco pistons.

It will run you about $850 bucks and i ran that combo in my car for some time with no issuses.

Wiseco makes excellent pistons and has been for many years.

A set of Pauter or Crower rods would be nice.
