Default Who's running tunertoy rods?

I did a bit of searching but wasn't finding much. Who's running TT rods and making any kind of power with them?

I've had an LS and a set of TT rods sitting for a long *** time now and I want to build it up. My turbo stock longblock z6 is no longer up to par so i need to start making some real power. (Not saying sohc's can't make power its just that I alredy have an LS and lots of parts for it).

I have tt rods but am running NA in an LS/Vtec but rev it to the moon with some nice cams so I can vouch that they can handle the revs.

9500rpm every time I take it out.

Im using them now in my b16 with srp pistons. Im only making 10psi and roughly 230whp now but planning on making alot more soon. I know their capable of just about as much as you can throw at them.

I don't have tunertoys rods, but they have the crunkest, flyest, grooviest customer support.

I think the site says they're rated for 500-600+ whp? Either way, your cylinders will fail long before these do, assuming you know how to tune.

Support tunertoys, and support hmt. They're top-notch yo!

TT, Eagles, Scat it's all the same stuff maybe with slightly diferent quality control.

Your local machinist can make it work for you if not he is a loser.
