What's the go-to 156mm Alum Rod these days?
 

Doing a motor build that'll require 156mm rods. Aluminum only. What's the best options available out there? Part numbers and/or vendors?

Need something that can ideally handle 1000-1100 WHP.

GRP or R&R

R&R and FFWD Vader seem to be the most popular, haven't heard of recent issues with either.

Vader hs a good rep? Honestly I've never heard anything about them aside from FB sponsored ads. Not sure if they were a gimmick, or legit.

R&R and GRP were the two I know of and were considering. I know the honda SFWD crowd uses GRP prettt extensively.

Any particular high hp cars running r&r?

BME make 156mm rods, or any experiences/input there?

A few people on DSMTuners bought them. I've never seen anything negative about them, but it could take a while for those stories to come out.

Most DSM 4G63 builders use R&R, can't go wrong.

Ive used BME rods in a bunch of motors,never an issue.

I believe Jeffrey busch runs Vader's in his dsm that runs low 7's.

I've seen nothing but great things with the Vader rods. They will be my rod of choice on my next build.
