Connecting rods receive some of the highest stress levels of any bottom end engine component. The forces a rod receives when the piston direction reverses from top dead center can exceed 12,000 lbs. in a race application. When you stop and think about how much stress that is, you realize how important a quality connecting rod is for your race engine. Lunati's fully machined I-beam connecting rods are on average, stronger and lighter than competitor's steel connecting rods. Each set is weight matched to +/- 1.5 grams and utilize ARP® cap hardware, providing you with a top of the line connecting rod that can handle most anything you can throw at it.

Constructed of a premium grade alloy designated ARP2000, the ARP® 2000 connecting rod bolts feature a fatigue life of approximately 200 percent of 8740 chrome moly steel and a tensile strength in the 220,000 psi range.

Constructed of a premium grade heat-treated 8740 alloy chrome moly steel, the ARP® High Performance connecting rod bolts feature a tensile strength in the 200,000 psi range. This makes the rod bolts significantly stronger and more reliable than stock bolts.

Ultimate strength and affordability is what the Lunati line of H-beam connecting rods are all about. Lunati rods are forged from aircraft grade 4340 alloy steel forgings...and that is just the beginning. They are then heat treated, stress relieved, shot peened and magnafluxed to ensure the highest level of durability. Each set is weight matched to +/- 1.5 grams and utilize ARP® cap hardware. Ideal for high performance street & mild race engines. Horsepower capability depends on various factors including rpm, poweradders, tuning, etc.

Lunati replacement rod bolts are rated from 180,000 psi to 220,000 psi, depending upon application. These bolts are stress relieved, and feature 12-point hex caps and rolled threads.

The Alecular material used in Lunati bearings allows a high degree of conformability over other race bearings, whether you are use steel or aluminum rods. Imbedability is four times greater than other bearings, plus they will not flake. The fatigue point of Alecular material is 1100 degrees fahrenheit, while babbitt overlay is only 400 degrees fahrenheit. Thickness tolerancing is held (0.0001), making Lunati bearings an excellent choice for road racing, oval track and drag racing. Lunati Alecular racing bearings are chamfered to fit Lunati crankshafts.
