What makes an alloy rod more suited to drag racing than circuit and road use? Woody from GRP Connecting Rods runs Andre through the pros and cons of using aluminum over steel.

Also discussed are the considerations you need to take into account when calculating how long an alloy rod will last you, and surprisingly to some your power output isn't one of these. Why I beam construction is more popular than H beam from a manufacturers point of view is also touched on and Woody also dispels the myth of alloy rods 'stretching'.
