[QUOTE="D.T.R, post: 13250829, member: 130214"] That's what I'm saying. Why put billet rods in a motor where the block itself will be more of a limiting factor than H-beam rods ? If people have made/are making 1000whp out of these aluminators, then they are serving their purpose. They're advertised as 1000hp-turnkey, ready to go motors... and that's what i need. I do not intend to make more than 1000whp, and I don't want the down time. I can look up the torque specs, and what not... but i'm trying to make this whole overhaul of the car as simple as possible even if that costs me more money. ding ding ding dingggggg Exactly Seems like this guy is very opinionated over something he's not that well informed. If you ever looked up the Aluminator specs, you'd see everywhere that it has manley rods :nonono: Exactly. I would love to actually take mine apart, take the heads off, and so on...
