I belive that the cunningham rods are the ones that are titanium. if it was going to rev the piss out the motor there is no better way to go, but for what i have planned (7000 redline, 7500 on occassion [spelling on that?]) so being that much lighter isnt a real factor for me (this doesnt mean i have decided, i may still get afterall if my budget allows) the 4340 rods look to be a good buy so far, who is pauter, i havent heard of them (not saying much, but i would like to know) crower custom make rods for 177 a piece. either way im looking at this time, knowledge is power. thanks for the responses, keep them comming

if no one has said this before, if your getting the taurus block, make sure its a Duratec block not the vulcan..the vulcan will not make to our trannies.

pauter does make titanium rods. check out there home page at http://www.pauter.com/. at the very bottom in caps, it says they now offer titanium rods. i had never heard of pauter before either, but rick blackford recommended them to me and obviously nikolas from duratecperformance.com has been in contact with them because hes the one that told me about getting them at a cheaper price if we got one more guy together for a group buy.
