I was wondering if anyone makes a high performance steel connecting rod for the predator, one of my buddies revs his engine to 6500rpm on the stock rod and refuses to upgrade to a billet aluminum rod, because its aluminum. I also don't want him to learn the hard way that stock rods aren't meant to rev that high, but he says his bearings haven't seized up and broke the rod and he runs his engine hard so his rod is fine. It just comes down to he won't use aluminum rods because they stretch, and he said if i find a steel rod he would happily buy it, but until then he won't change his rod.
