Choosing the right connecting rod? |
 | | Titanium connecting rods have been used for decades in high end applications where the strength and longevity of steel is required, but the lightweight characteristics of aluminum are desired from forgings as well. |
| | With a billet rod made from an extrusion, the final characteristics of the alloy are already determined, having been heat treated and in the case with RandR’s billet aluminum connecting rods, the alloy is pre-stress relieved, allowing for a more stable rod, at least dimensionally speaking. |
| | Some guys change their aluminum connecting rods religiously every few runs or every season, since typically the cost of a set of rods is less than the cost of the rest of the parts in a race engine. |
