Dyer's Rods

[msdnga]

Alot have asked about the rods I use in the Turbo trucks here.

Dyers makes my rods, they are parabolics rated for 1500+hp. So if you are shooting for 1000 rear wheel. These are the best I have used. For Dyers to build a lower priced rod, it was not worth the time to build a 700hp rod when most guys are pushing that with the stock crack rods. (Amazing)

Be prepared to pay Oliver prices for the security. These rods are $2399 for the set. The Pistons I use are Ross Racing forged with taper pins for strength. I usually anodize and ceramic the pistons on high boost setups. The pistons run around $1300 and $1600 coated from Calico coatings. The factory forged crank compliments this well. There are more things to be done with the block, but that is how I forge the bottom ends here at KRC.

I have a head stud kit here to keep the top end together from ARP. It is $149.

so 3grand in rods and pistons...what else do you recommend to run a high boost setup ? I remember hearing something about valve springs?

 

[Rice Eater]

marty do you have any vids of the turbo truck running or cruising around town? Nice pass by the way! What tires were you running?

Closer to 4 grand for rods and pistons. Plus labor I would think.

...plus bearings, of course. Preferably friction coated too!:rock:

~58 bucks for stock bearings from Patrick.

Those are a must and that is a great price. I thought they were around 400??
You can reuse the ARPs but not the stock Mopars.

Do you need to modify the crank or are these drop-ins? Does anything need to be done to the block?

dont forget billet mains.............and a good head gasket...................it will be over 10k do do a setup for higher hp

Yes there are more things to do with the block, I run FACTORY MLS head gaskets with my head stud kit. 19 psi and no detonation has zero issues.
