| can't imagine whay any one would need a stronger rod for street use. i have never seen a rod break from failure of the rod itself in a street car. i have seen them break because the driver lost oil pressure or seriously over reved it or didn't use good bolts. but i have never seen a street motor have a rod break from normal use. the regular rods are lighter, and when you polish and blast them and put good bolts in they are better than a lemans rod was when they were new. this means that you are spinning less weight and it should rev faster and put less load on connected parts so the engine should last just that much longer (not that you could actually measure the difference). lemans rods do have a mystique but i am afraid that their time has come. keep them in the big inch high horse motors and use technology to your advantage in a street motor. just my .02. hawkrod |
