cheaper ARP rod bolts




Honestly, I'm not sure why anyone woudl pay this kind of money for the
re-usable rod bolts. Stock new ones are only about $38 for the whole set.
You could buy 3 sets of them for the cost of these you're talking about from
Summit racing. The only reason I would even consider anything but stock is
if I was planning on tearing down my engine regularly, or I was going to
running bost. Otherwise it's just not cost effective/beneficial. When I
rebuilt my engine I chose to go with the stock replacements.

Just my $.02

I tried pasting the part no. in @ http://summitracing.com and it didn't work
for me...

Btw, Techtonics sells them for $100.
