Working on that now, but it should be the same price as their regular rods:  Around $800 a set.

I just wasn’t sure if they were doing a billet deal for you.

Forged steel like their regular rods. 

Talking with Molnar about a production run of some lightweight 6.800" BBC rods for stroker-FE style combos.  We are aiming for <700g. 

I have to buy 5 sets if we settle on a new design.  I would have 2 sets spoken for.  Any other interest?

If you're trying to be frugal, find someone with a set of Edelbrocks that they're selling to upgrade to something else.   

You don't need roller rockers.  I've got engines out there with hundreds of passes on them running factory non-adjustable and factory adjustable rockers, with end stands added. 

I'll be straight with you, dude.

The SpeedMaster/ProComp/et al is junk.  And yes, it's cheap Chinese junk, just like the lifters you bought. 

I don't use their stuff, but have seen plenty of it fail:  heads can't pass a pressure test, seats need valve job, guides fall out, roller rocker arms spit out needle bearings, distributors fail.

It's cheap for a reason.  You play the game, roll the dice, and see if it works for you.

It is Brian Nutter.  I've competed with him in the cam challenge stuff.

All of your higher end cam grinders will have a CNC grinder like that.

Having experience in a specific engine family is what gives you a leg up with cam stuff.   Just my opinion, but it's hard to pop out a line of cams when you've never built/dyno'd a specific engine before.  Lots of different aspects when you look at valvetrain weights between cylinder heads, valve sizes, displacements, etc.

Depends on the block.  Depends on the horsepower.  Depends on how the block was prepped.  Depends on the cylinder wall thicknesses.
