Ok, $400 dollar budget for rods. What should i get?
I promise this will be my last post about connecting rods, i know your all getting sick of it. In light of the fact that i wanna spray a hefty shot of nitrous (eventually 175ish shot), and i wanna be able to take the motor to 6000+ rpm, i've decided that the rods are not something i should cheap out on.
That said, i now have 400+ dollars to spend on rods. Whatever they are, they need to be able to handle 6000+rpm and a heavy shot of nitrous. It's gotta last me a while too. Pistons are TRW forged flat tops if that matters at all. The motor makes 400hp to the flywheel right now, so with the shot of nitrous, it should be around 550. I need something thats gonna be able to take it.
Well?

Ok one last question, it appears that all the H beam rods have the buhings for a floating pin. My new pistons are pressed pin.
what has to be done to make this work?
