really? why do you say that?

 

has anyone had their bottom ends balanced after doing rods and pistons or is that just something domestic guys do

 

yes

 

I think I'll be getting some TT rods then. More money into the rest of the car. Thanks guys.

 

nvm

 

tuner toys , eagles , and crower econo billets are the same chinese rod with a different name.


ive used the crowers and the eagles with no issue

 

does that mean i have to be the TT rod guinea pig? :P

 

me and you both. they dont have any rite now though wich is cool becausei just bought bigger turbo and saving for a sleeved d16y8 for the low low yeet. will be pushin 20lbs soon

 

yeah, i've been pretty curious as to what those arp's that the tt rods come w/ will hold up to... their FAQ says 7-8k, but who knows

 

Both rods seem to be about the same. I know Craig had some type of metal testing done on them and they got a good grade from the "metal expert" (metalurgist?).

IMO run either one with peace of mind. I bought rods when TT first got them and didn't have em for D16Y8's, so I didn't have a choice. You are definately not the first person to run the TT rod and you won't be the last.
