The best connecting Rods Options

[awd4kicks]

I'd like to hear what you all have experienced or read about the best connecting rods. Which rods would you buy for a daily driven high HP car if money were no object?

For instance I was using Eagle rods in my G64c 2.4liter 4-banger. These, from what I have been told are the least expensive good rod. I put about 135HP through each rod on the dyno (On a V8 that would equate to a 1080HP engine). It's not the 240HP+ that Darryl Hudson put's through his rods, but my cars are meant to be street driven many more miles than a drag race only car. Marko was apparently using Carillo rods in his 1500HP street driven Supra which equates to 250+HP per rod.

So what do you think? Since I am talking about a street driven car I don't think that aluminum rods should be considered unless there is something about them I don't know.

Eagle
Manley
Carillo
Any others?

Markus - http://www.nipponpower.com/product.phtml?p=129&mmk=311 I bet you could find them for $700 somewhere. Great rods and not too expensive. They should last you a long time... as long as everything else goes ok.


It seems like most all other HP rods for the Mitsu 4-banger are between 700 & 800 dollars. So It wouldn't be a decision of economy, but of who is the best. I'm not sure how to tell that with the propaganda the sales people pitch you. I do like the look of the Pauter rods though.

Thanks for the input guys!
