Charly,
FWIW, my Carillo rods with JE pistons (and bolts, wrist pins,
rings) save a total of around 270g rotating mass per pot over
lightened stock components, or a massive 375g/pot over stock
components. In a TR6, that is 2.25kg off the rotating mass.
I was advised AGAINST using Cosworth pistons, as they have a very
short skirts. While maybe fine for a woman with long rods, this
is an issue in my streetable car, but not as critical for a dedicated
racer.

2.25kg or nearly 5lbs off the rotating mass.> I've looked in to getting
Venolia pistons at about
> $100 a piece and I've been thinking along the lines of using the stock rods.
