I just paid that for Pauter rods. billit 4340 chrome steel. Good for about 900 hp. I recieved them last week and they are beautiful. I would of course have opted for a little less hp to cut my cost in half. The SPEC IIIi can only take about 540tq and that's the only streetable high hp clutch I'd consider. I'll never come close to the end of those rods.
I contacted Oliver and they told me $250 a rod and 10 weeks. Eagle said they had nothing when I talked to them and had no plans.
Now what I would love to get are main studs. ARP discontinued the part # even though it's still listed. It sucks that the entire bottom end is forged or billit and I have to use TTY bolts to hold it together.
