Apex build

Lets hear from the engine builders, which rod is better ?

The carrillo rods are 300.00 more, are they worth the extra money ?

I found carrillo for 1225 and the falicon are 925 per set, if you or someone you know sells them cheaper let me know.

I also need JE 9:1 gas ported pistons, I'm buying in the next couple of days.

Let me know what you have

The gas porting does benafit , I would not biuld a sled with out ported pistons. increased compression and no blow by under hi boost. the carrillos may be stronger but for are application I don,t think you will ever need the difference between the two.

Personal Preference, I would NOT use gas ported Pistons on anything other than a race application.

Carbon will eventually plug the holes and gum up the rings, not a pretty sight.

I am running straight propane @ 18-26lbs, very little carbon build up.

Ted, do you have the parts in stock ? If so PM me a price, I called the shop Wed. but you were out or busy and no one called back with info.

I'd like to get parts coming monday morning.

I'm @ 208-852-3641

Thanks,
Mike

I apologize, I was out Wed Testing my updated turbo manifold, Kris has all your info but I am sure the guys were extremely busy this week especially since I was not here.

I left a message on your phone.
