I've got a stock short block I would donate up as a test mule. I can get it down to Danville as soon as you want. If they hold up I will pay you for the rods and take my block back. If they fail I'm not out much and mark has a mess to clean up.

IDK Pat did strength testing? Thought he did dimensional testing - fancy measuring of dimensions on really critical parts?



Either way, yeah, these need a good run through the proper paces to even get on the radar as viable. Hope they turn out to be as good as the OP says he thinks they are. :thumb:

I thought he did? I dunno, Pat's never around any more anyway.

Yes, I too hope these turn out to be an option. It would be nice to have parts in this sport that are actually customer price friendly instead of all those that gouge us just b/c its diesel.
I just want pootrol to be up front and honest about data and testing, b/c that can only help him, which in turn would help us. Generalities and evasiveness when questioned isnt the way to go here. Rods are just too critical to not have the facts up front.

If this person would have come off introducing himself first and explaining a bit of his past and what he was trying to accomplish I think he would have been welcomed a little more. Just look at where Fingers has gotten us today! But when you start off with a sales pitch you're not going to make any friends.
