To achieve maximum reliability with power levels over300 hp they are indispensable to give greater guarantee to the rest of the work.
Many people say that stock connecting rods can be reliable up to 400 hp, once they have been balanced, polished and lightened, but that’s not true…
Try to imagine what amount of damage you would cause inside a tuned engine if connecting rods broke, after all the money you have spent into it…
I affirm that, once you modify the engine, and considering that you probably will want to increase its power in the future, it is better to think about reliability sooner.
Rotating parts and engine head will not need to be touched in future and replacing camshafts or turbochargers to vary output will be easy;
Without being worried about connecting rods possibly breaking, as the original ones would be the chain’s weak ring. SCARA73 reinforced connecting rods ensure you to realize over 300~400hp while still maintain top reliability.
