I believe a stock cast rod is around 890, and a Eagle is around 800. So, there is quite a bit of difference. |

The reason why I am asking is that I'm building a 400 and using a 350 crank.Going light all the way.Toss up between aluminum BME or lightened rods via Ken the Ace man.

The BME's are around 600-660 grams Depending on Length ect, The Tomahawks are wayyy More than Most will need for Street use, Yes I have had a set to look at and They are a Very Nice Rod especially for the $, If it said Crower or Oliver it would be 700$!, You will never need BME's on the Street in a 350 IMHO, Plus Ballancing can get Expensive, Your best Bet to a Good Quick revving engine is Lightweight Forged Pistons and Decently light rods, Whatch Piston pin weight too, I like Ferrea's 90028 .990 pins 130 grams and Forged taper wall design Personally, So Tomahawks Would do Whatever you want short of I'd say 750hp max
