Good choice of parts! Carrillo rods can hold a ton of power, good luck with the build!

Love carillo rods, but honestly prefer wiseco over Ross. Your machine shop should be able to pickup on any irregularities though...

Ross track record (consistency) =
Wiseco Consistency =

Ask any machine shop. Then again, Shepherd use to use Ross pistons, and I believe he ran 8's with them.

I bought carrillo rods. The shop I was going to get to build my motor said they are junk, and because of it will not build my block!! I thought they were one of the lightest and strongest rods made?

Anyone have any experience with them?

::edit::Fair enough


I can only tell you that I've held an Oliver rod in one hand and the stocker in the other and the Oliver felt and looked like it could handle 800whp with nary a worry...
