Connecting rods-What's recommended?
 

Looking for connecting rods, need better ones than eagle / crower econo billet-boosting over 15lbs...

What does everyone here use?

I know Manley turbo tuff rods are badass, but they're out of stock everywhere...

Carillo's are expensive--is it just the name? or quality as well?

Can't find any info on Crower steel billet rods ( list for approx $726 ) anyone running these?

LMK

Pauter - I ran them, they rock. Forgot the price though... proven 997whp. :eek3:

same as manleys--about 650, depending on where you look...Where I am ( Houston Texas ) they might be as hard if not harder to get than manleys ( f***ing impossible!! ) May have to settle for crowers, builder and tuner both use them, and both are over 500whp...I'll check on the pauter's availability and let everyone know...

pauters are same as manley / carrillo...650-700 ($) range...pauters should be here soon after the first...engine / turbo being re-built through may, should be streetable / tuned in june


...on to the interior :loco:

Pauter, high end crower, importbuilders

:werd:

Glad to help. Where'd you end up buying them from?

Purchase
 

Throgh my parts guy / tuner...got to use his discount :boink: --Right at 600$

WESTCOASTSTYLE--You had the s200, right? I'll let you know about all the upgrades with the s300 when mine is running my car...realtime updating/street tuning=:jawdrop:

Nice. Ya, had the S200B. My last tuner was doing real-time tuning in mine with an ostrich while I was on the dyno with their wideband plugged in. I was going to get a wideband, but sold it before I ended up doing so.

I think the S300 is crazy priced. You can get just as much, if not more, out of Neptune for much less. The hardest part about Neptune is finding a tuner that's close.

That's bad ass...wireless tuning...

The most reliable tuners around here use hondata...the "Neptuners" here haven't been putting out very impresive numbers...guess they just haven't figured out the software, yet, or something...

Luckily, I know the local Neptue tuner. The creator of Neptune is VERY picky about who he allows to be a tuner and he only allows so many in a certain proximity. It's pretty funny, but definitely keeps him in control of pricing and all that. Sucks for people that don't live close to one though. :happysad:
