i was wondering which set do u built guys trust more

the brods made by brian crower specifically says rated @ 200hp per cylinder

@$420.00

k1 made by carrillo says can handle excess of 500hp

@399.00

wih only a $20 difference i havent seen any1 use the brods yet just k1 or other brands

 

Too Much Price.....

 

k1's seem to hold 400-450whp no problem... dont think anyone pushed them further than that tho

 

And there's not that much people making over 450! Threes just a handful that's all. If that.

Mods need to make a sticky of top 10 power makers. And top 10, 1/4 mile setters ad 1/8 mile setters. And ofcourse proof. And cars still gotta be running.

not really. my carrillos were $799 when i bought them.

 

lol...FAIL

 

Does the Brod require notching of the block?? I know the K1 does not.

 

Manely Rods, you forgot about those.

 

K1 for pump gas power. Manley for race gas power

 

Carillo > Manley IMO

 

We have never had any problems with our K1's. Pump and race gas up to 30psi.

 

The K1s are an excellent rod for the $$. I have not seen a better rod for the amount of abuse it can take to the $$.

 

You can run either, they are all made in the same place then finished machined at their respective manufacturer. The K1's are a good bang for the buck. They and other rod manufacturers conservatively rate their rods at 150 whp per cylinder but you can take them higher. The real stress on a rod comes with RPM, and stress piles up around 8000 RPM as the bolts begin to stress. Most tC guys wouldn't be revving to 8k on a regular basis but so long as the bolts are lubed and torqued properly (stretch gauge) then you really shouldn't have any issues.

 

They both will get the job done.



More info on the 30psi tC.

 

I dont own the car, So I'm not giving out the info. But its my best friends car. He like to stay under the radar. We just got it back up running last weekend. Snapped the axle at the hub launching it off the 2 step. So, were saving for some DSS axles and hopefully the track before this season is out.

 

What ems?

How much whp"?

 

never dynoed. We street tuned it. on FIC.

 

Snapped a hub, damn.

 

Yep, good thing im parting my car. We just took my axle, and hub/knuckle off my car. Easy fix.

 

was this the 600 whp car at exposed?
