Over the past 3 years I have built 3 R&R aluminum rod motors. All 3 motors are still running without ever opening them up. And these are not normal cars one is a 2g auto car with 30 low 9 sec runs and one 8.9et. One is a daily driver 1g auto that runs mid 10s. And the 3rd was my personal motor that I made 500hp with on a mustang dyno and daily drove for 2 years summer and winter. That motor was sold as a long block and is now in a friends car making 800hp in a 2g. That motor is also on 21mm pins and runs great.
My previous setup(s) have all ran stock 6-bolt wrist pins.. last combo ran as much as 67lbs/min, upper 30s boost and 9250 redline. Same engine thats in the new chassis with the S3 cams and HX52.. saw 31psi and 9k on friday night during testing.
First off Darren from FFWD is a great guy to deal with. My fiancé delt with him a lot when she bought me a set of Vader Rods for Christmas. I haven't installed them yet but I will say these things are light and works of art.Darren is always willing to answer any questions and give advice plus makes a great product. Kevin with the blue 1g rwd talon ran 7's with these rods.On the same subject I'm considering aluminum rods and after seeing ffwd s Vader aluminum rods I'm considering going that route. But I haven't seen their rods brought up in this thread so does anyone have any experience with them?
