#75916, "Poll question: What rods are better overall ?"


          

Im doing a bottom end rebuild cause as some of you may know I snapped my rod. Anyway I was just wondering what you guys think about the long rod. What are the advantages and disadvantages of getting long rods. I know the long ones give me low end torque but am I loosing more then I'm gaining ?

Actually, I figured you broke a rod since your screen name is "brokenrodguy." emoji I would suggest you take a look in the advanced forum and see if you can find a post about a "high rpm screamer." You might try the search, but there was some good discussion in that thread about the benefits of long rods. So far, I've heard nothing but good things about them.
