360 bmod motor which rod would use? compstar,eagle, scat. tell me why other than price

I would use either a Scat I beam or a rebuilt OEM rod. Anything more is overkill.Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. -
depends on the rules and budget. i'd go with the lightest rod possible if allowed. probe has some 560 gram i beams for just under $400 that i use alot. if price and rules dont allow i'd go with scat pro comp i beams.Comment

The pro mod rod is a nice budget rod for say, a motor making 500 horse or more. I'd consider it overkill for a B-mod though.. unless it was a B-Mod on alcohol with aftermarket heads making big power.Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.Comment

If you get a light rod make sure you get a light piston or your looking at trouble. Heavy piston light rod = bent rods at high rpms and a pain to balanceComment

We're thinking of two different rods then. The Pro Mod rod would be with 7/16 bolts similar to an Oliver in design. The rods that I would run would be the standard off the shelf Scat.Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.Comment

The Pro Mod is also called the Pro-Comp rod by Scat. When I was using them, they were called the Pro Mod Rod. My balance sheet from a motor I did in 08 shows the rod total weight was 612 Grams. 2.1" Pin, 6" in length. Scat or Eagle standard I Beam with cap screws or thru bolts. It all depends on your budget and rules.Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.Comment

yes the pro comps i was refering to are the scats with the 7/16 capscrews. very nice rod for less than $300, and they weigh almost the same as the cheaper scats. overkill never hurt anybody
the probes are much lighter as i said. they are also sold under other names like competition products, rpm ect..

They have lightened the design since I last used them... Yes that's another option for a rod under $300.
There was a place selling some really light I Beams but can't remember where it was for under $200.Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.Comment

K1 technologies has some really nice stuff, fair price and good quality.Josh K.Comment

How about the eagle sir rods. I have used them in 3 engines and had good luck, but they are about 350 hp max. Any opinion ,good or bad about them?Comment

Those are an awesome rod Jeff, for the money. Distributed by RPM out of California.Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.Comment

Those are the rods that I am thinking you guys are referring to. The rods you have Jeff would be fine, but I've gotten plenty of use out of the standard Scat stuff that costs around $200.
With the IMCA rule that you can't have cap screw rods, it really limits you. Wish they'd lift that rule, a lot more motors would be legal then from other flat top 9-1 rules.Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.Comment

Yeah, those Scats I sent the link too are what I have ran in my A Mod before. I'm going to try the rods you've got in my next piece though.
I just read the rules and they did change them. I didn't keep up on them after I moved up. Cap Screws back in. I like that idea.Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.Comment

i wish we could run those l/w rods with the imca 360 engine option. i'd use those in a heartbeat.Comment
