[Fot] Rods

[Joe Alexander]

We run billet crank with Chevy rods and typically shift at 5800 with Tilden Cam.

2:56 at Road America last fall
1:27 at Blackhawks Farms in June

This is with an interim stock TR3 head off of my 58 TR3A street car until we get around to changing to a well prepared head. Hopefully in a month or so.

Feels like a good combination for us.

I try and shift @ 6200 which I don't consider "high" revs when one considers that the NASCAR guys turn upwards of 9000 with Ford motors.  I don't know the selection of bearing types for the P & C rods, but the selection for Ford rods is infinite, maybe another +.
