Message	TheDevilsZ.com, I got some great prices there, customer service was also great. Give him a call and he'll get you some good prices. Highly recommended I basically got these, Not for strength (because I believe stock are stronger than these) but I got them for the lightness to try and allevieate the rotating mass on the crank. I am not worried about the strength factor because I will only have problems if I detonate, which with any rod, will be destroyed. I talked to Alan @ Eagle performance products and he said these rods should be able to handle 1300hp. My new build, I should be around 900rwhp with a 100shot of n20. *hopefully anyways* Wiesco Forged pistons will be here soon as well. These rods came with ARP 2000 rod bolts, Very high quality. I weighed each of these rods with a very accurate scale at my work... They were all exactly 580 grams each, I believe stock are around 725g each. Thats a total of 870 grams saved on the rotating mass of the crank, Plus the lighter forged pistons that I will be having, RPS carbon/carbon clutch, flywheel and also the ATI super dampner crank pulley. I will also be taking some weight off the crank itself but I do not know how much it will be. Hopefully it will help get my GT2871-1 turbos spooled up pretty "quickly" along with my full 3" turbo back exhaust setup. On to the pics here is the box it came in..=) One of my favorite Z's of all time, snapped a few shots, while I was over at a buddy's house this weekend... The owner said it was really dirty, but to me, this car could be covered in mud, and I will still love it, these pics just do not do it justice! My Z will be going into the body shop within the next few months to start its metal widebody conversion!! cant wait. Even though some of you hate widebodies, I personally love them. Hope ya enjoyed the pics! NO, This picture is not photoshopped. It took many times to take this picture. Setting up the timer, shutter speed etc, then jumping on my bike and getting the tire to spin.
