Thread: aftermarket rods

I tried have a search around on here and on the net but couldn't really find the answer
So I thought perhaps we could start a thread which lists the weights of aftermarket rods. Because for an NA motor I don't need the "xxxxx" rod because it handles 500hp I thought a list of the various rod weights could be a useful resource for people wanting/about to build motors.
So add what you have and i'll update this thread as I get numbers too.
Cheers
Nick

Seida rods = 520g.

If it helps I think me Sieda rods were lighter than my stock rods.

Thanks, i'm after actual weights though. I'm hoping that if we get enough info together we might be able to make it a sticky. I've started the list off

very nice idea. ive been thinking a lot lately about this. i wonder if most of those crazy aftermarket rods are lighter then the ve rods...

yeah, If someone has the weight of a stock VE rod that would be good to, I don't have a set so would be good to compare to them

cheers thanks just found those, added the carillo H beam weight too
Its amazing how many manufacturers don't list a weight for the rod in their catalog

Found the weight of the Seida rods 520g.

Manley the best rod for the price. ( h beam) and also the lighter.
There is post with pretty good info regarding this.
Cheers.

So whats the weight of a 20ve rod. I don't have 20ve rods so would be keen to see how much the 20ve rods weigh in comparison
