At that level I would feel comfortable running steel as well, was just pointing out that the car doesn't run 900whp all the time. For a car that doesn't see much street use aluminum wouldn't have many drawbacks but on the street steel is the way to go IMO even at this power level. Aluminum begins to fatigue immediately even under light loads, so all those miles of light use fatigue the metal vs steel which will have no effect unless you exceed a fairly high level of stress.

 

Have you ever run aluminum rods? Or steel at that power level?

I have ... and if you are going to make the jump from 7-800 to 8-900 there are a lot of things to change... not just the rods.

You can use shelf parts to make a reliable 800 hp setup... those parts will fail pretty quickly at 900.. and if you make 900 may as well shoot for 1000... those parts would be lucky to survive 10 passes at 1000

 

Yes I have, we made over 900 on these rods.


Enlighten us what failures have you seen at 900whp on steel rods?

 

Well i just picked up thos rods for 450 shipped never installed and im looking for 900
