What rods are available?

I am looking for a set of rods for my motor and I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything that someone is making.

-Manley Turbo Tuffs
-K1
-Carrillo
-Brian Crower
-Brian Crower PRO
-Groden Aluminum

I run aluminum in some of my pro stock Honda motors and I'm extremely leary about running these in my street car, so I think those are out.

Eagle hasn't released anything as of yet, even though there are some listing floating around the internet. Besides what you have listed above Brian Crower makes some pretty nice H beams that are very cost effective as well, we're using the Pro series with ARP 625+ fasteners in our MR build and they look great Let me know if I can get you some pricing regardless of which rods you pick, we can get them all and guarantee the best pricing!

Forgot about the Carrillos and BCs. I know who makes the BCs, so that is good to know thanks.

Really? So you're saying they rebadge them for less than half the price?

The Carr rod bolts are a higher quality than an ARP 2000 and certainly more money, but not that much more. Can anyone confirm that K1 is made by Carrillo?

do you know how much these rods stretch within a given rpm and oil temp?
also what is the piston to valve clearance on the motor at ambient temp? and what is the clearance between the piston and the head at TDC under no load and ambient?

just wondering why people would run these in a street motor unless the clearances are big to begin with or is built into the rod....?

The rods are the same length. Piston to valve and head clearances depend on compression ratio and mfr.

They certainly are nice. Too rich for my blood I put all my money in my rice burner Honda and it leaves my EVO as the stepchild.
