Rods?

[slowcommonrai]

Ok so I'd like to get a couple of opinions on rods, I want to go with a set of billet rods but don't have the coin for this build. I'm lookin into a set of hardened rods but just unsure about them. I'm shooting for mid 900s hp wise and want to do a couple of 1/4 miles passes, and hook up to a sled every now and again. So the big question is should I just hold off until I have the money for billet or would hardened rods be ok for what I'm lookin to do? Thanks

From my experience if you have the money to build a 900 HP truck and you have the engine out your absolutely crazy to not find the extra $2500 to put in at least carillos. Seen way too many bent 12v rods and broken cr rods at that level. $2500 is cheap of it keeps you from having to do it the second time. Not saying you couldn't get by especially if you go the route of a big single turbo but in my opinion its not the smart thing to do.

Big single and big RPM is the only way to keep 12v rods alive. Keep it out of the torque.

its going to be a big single, that's why I was wondering because ive always seen guys say that if you are gunna run twins then go with billet. Trust me I want to go billet but with a 3 month old baby and a wife its not so easy lol. Plus I just want my effinn truck back together.
