For crying out loud, CAN WE STICK TO THE ISSUE AT HAND HERE- SCAT RODs...REMEMBER? LOL!

No, but really- I ordered the Crower 6.8 rods (bushed)today from Kauffman Racing...just didn't feel comfortable with SCAT, CAT, PROLINE, PROFORM or any other Eagle replica, especially with 500 plus Horse Power and 200 shot of Nitrous.

My question is this, Dave Butler I remember recommended going with ARP 2000 bolts(200,000 PSI) when I was asking him about the Eagle rods 2 weeks ago. Now the Crower rods come with ARP 180,000 PSI bolts...is that okay or should I upgrade to the 200,000 PSI bolts?
Or did Butler recommend the stronger bolts because the Eagles are bit weaker than the MIGHTY CROWERS? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] -Chris

I can't speak for the scat or eagle rods because i have never used them. I have the Crower Sportsman rods. You made a wise move by buying the Crowers. The 180,000 bolts are plenty strong with these rods. Also they are made in the good old USA. Also i have seen the Childs & Albert trackmaster rods for the pontiac engine. The C & A rods are a fine looking rod, as good as the Crowers but they are $100.00 more a set than the Crowers. The C & A rods are also made in the USA.

I've run Ross pistons on Eagle rods for 31/2yrs now. 800hp+, 6500-7000rpm shifts with no problems. All bearings upon last inspection(last spring) were in perfect condition.

I've had good luck with my crower rods, maybe cause they are BILLET. Never heard anything negative about crower, can't say the same for the eagles and clones. you get what you pay for in the end. My two cents!
