[Fot] Connecting rod question

[John H. Hasty]

Gosh guys, with the almost unlimited selection of racing rods for Ford and Chevy v8 monster engines at reasonable prices, why are you paying and praying for stock  sized replicas?

I’ve used the Pauter rods to good effect, too.  They have proven very durable for me!

Walt,

I went with Pauter rods for the Spitfire due to the use of a larger rod bolt than Carillo.

Marty Sukey posted some very nasty pictures of his Carillos and a rod bolt failure…good enough for me.

Not sure how it will apply to TR6 items but worth a look.

I have built a few full race engines for my TR6 using MaxSpeeding connecting rods with acceptable results. For my next build I am considering Carrillo rods which run about $650 more than the MaxSpeeding rods.
Do and FOT members feel that the Carrillo rods are worth the extra bucks or should I be happy with the MaxSpeeding considering the affordability?
Thanks,
