Message	It's interesting work, but I wonder if time is better spent in other places. If you are building these for a drag car, for instance, I'd suggest that you do something innovative with the suspension. I believe the reality is that you will achieve greater ROI doing something like that. The few extra HP that you get out of the rod experiment will get you far fewer tenths at the strip than serious suspension/chassis tuning. Food for thought.........
