more importantly, who designed them and who is manufacturing them?

were they tested to 1500 hp? Thats a big claim...

looking fwd to details!!

Thats not a big claim but a solid claim.

Most everyone uses H beam rods and there are motors out there that are making 600-800 WHP on them. The I beam rod design is way stronger than the H beam rod by alot.

So lets say they are only good for 1200 HP who the hell here is going to make that.

The bolts say Crower, and I saw somewhere that BC was making rods now.

These are made by Crower, not Brian Crower. The old man assured me these will handle the 1500HP requested. I'll have to see if I can find the spec sheet for the weight. if not, I'll get it.

If theyre Crower's thats excellent!! You should have put that on the title Greg, might attract alot more attention that way. I see the Crower on the bolts now, but I would still wonder lol Gotta make sure to disassociate from BC for something like this.

I say 1500hp is a big claim only for that reason...not too many folks here (maybe a handful) are making 1000 let alone over 1000, so its hard to say anyone has proven them, etc. Not saying its impossible or anything like that. I agree even if they can handle 1000 or 1200 its still a pretty good deal. The old Crowers were rated pretty high IIRC too, so if these are new/improved I would imagine them to be a solid choice for monster output engines!! Crower has a good rep IMHO.

IDK too many folks around here that will spend the money, but it'd be nice to see a build that uses/needs these.

GLWS Greg!!
