Evo race bearings PLEASE HELP

OK i searched up and down. when i type in bearings, nothing comes up. When i type in race bearings, EVERYTHING comes up, cuz every thread has the word "race" in it. so im gonna make my own thread. And the last time i opened a thread a week ago, i didnt get a single respose. so can somebody PLEASE HELP

im buliding a turbo'd front wheel drive ralliart to have 600whp. I know i should buy an evo but i want to be different. plus this is my first car and its my project. I have alot of things ready to go, crank, pistons rods, head/main studs, balance shaft. I just need a few things hear and there to finish the bottom end... but i really need BEARINGS

BEARINGS

what company has really good, sturdy RELIABLE bearings that can withstand 600+whp? and what is your guys opinions on different bearings????


thanks so much
Joe D

what "bearings" are you talking about??? Rod bearings, Main bearings, Wheel bearings???? If your talking Rod, and Main bearings, I've always used Cosworth!

Rod and main bearings, yes thats what i need.... cosworth huh? ok thats good thanks ... I was also looking around and i think AMS has some good ones to.

but am i reading this right. 100 dollars EACH? i gotta spend 400 dollars for the 4 bearings? wtf. or is it 100 dollars for a set of four????

and which do u guys think is better, cosworth or AMS? i think ams has incredibly good rep here on the boards, so leaning towards them... but any input, experience, or advice would be very helpful. thanks.

I'd say cosworth, in the "racing" world, they have a higher rep. then AMS does, although their gear is hella expensive.
