well Zach patiently waited for Magnus to supply a set of billet rods for his 2.4 monster ... it only took 7 months, the better part of 50 phone calls just to Magnus, and us relocating the shop to get these rods ... BUT THEYRE HERE!!!!  |

no fuel, rpm, or boost log. "It can't be done" Tune by luck! Lol I don't get upset but when someone talks like they know everything and when you put a statement like this turbo spools at this rpm your kidding yourself on a car making 600-1100whp. It can't be done.

Yea but dan... you have to understand. Zachs rods were mined from the earth 6 months ago by a wealthy iranian man, shipped to the states, packed off to magnus and then they were designed and cut a week ago. and he JUST got them !! not bad for 50 phone calls and a 7 month wait.
thats the story right zach?

I am surprised that zachs name isn't engraved on each one! Maybe that they only do that for customers that wait 8 months.  Chad those rods remind me of billet crank sets I use to sell back in the day. Those are worth throwing a rod through the block just so you can see them! |

They were forged at the peek of evrest and all liquid from cooling to drinking water up there was under 10 min old babys tears. The only people that worked on them had to be missing one leg one arm and blind or deff.
So you understand why it took so long.
Ps. The rods smell like talcum powder.

While those Groden aluminum rods are nice, they are not street car rods. They are meant to be changed out regularly on race cars with limited time on the engines.
