Took the leap and will throw the maxspeedingrods connecting rods (I really hate posting that name)

509g’s without ARP2000’s

Stupid ass name, but they are basically Molnar/Eagle/K1 rods direct from the manufacturer. TUV certified to be true SAE 4340, ARP hardware verified to be genuine & weights well within the tolerances they stated. BE and SE measurements verified consistent and round.

Only thing you need to do is clean-up all the knife edges left from machining process, e.g. quick swipe with a file. Other than that no one really has any qualifying proof that these are shitty rods because they're 1/2 the price.

EDIT: Also, lightly sand the bearing tang recesses in the BE's as they are also very sharp and might gouge the bearing shells during final stretch. My weights are the same as yours 565 grams.

This I can agree with, a dumbass name for sure. I have them at the shop right now to check the little and big ends on them while I have it all there.
Even the guy at my machine shop was super impressed with the quality of these.

He brought up a good point with the rods nowadays though. In his words, “Computers are the ones left doing a lot of the manufacturing and processing for these. No longer is it someone who’s just punching away at a 9-5, as long as the metal and material is good Youre usually pretty set”

Says the guy who regurgitates wikipedia and google searches but has never offered any real-world results. But since you know how to build everyone else's engine and dyno everyone else's car post links.
