Damn. That should hold way more power.

Not necessarily.... I wouldn't put it past Ford to have maybe switched the alloy material that the new rod is made out of...who knows what these things will hold power wise or do. Bigger isn't always better

Sooooo, any updates?

Shopping for Christmas gifts and curious how many butthurt care packages I need to buy before they start selling out.

ChattyCathy said, "My motor had them I can tell." But not sure exactly what he's referring to.

The 35mm wrist pin rod or the new mystery 6.0 style rod.

17 up have better rods. end of story.

Bigger. They have bigger rods.

No one has proven they are better yet. By any means.

Bigger is not always better. I am inclined to agree with sootie and I would like to think the beefier rods definitely will hold a lot more power but it has yet to be proven.

I'm not one to argue on forums much because it never goes anywhere but until someone can show me that these new "bigger" rods can hold a lot more power, say 800whp and 1500 ft lbs at early RPM, i'm not going to confidently say they are indeed" better"

Guess that's where I'm confused.

Are the late 16/present rods the beefier Rod on the left.

Or did they upsize the wrist pin (late 16/17 and have now beefed up the entire connecting rod. (Date of change to be announced)
