If you're diving into the world of LS engines, you'll want to check out the new Billet LSX Connecting Rods from Texas Speed. These rods are crafted from heat-treated, stress-relieved 4340 steel, which is a fancy way of saying they’re built to take a beating. I’ve seen too many stock rods bend under pressure, but these beauties are machined with a level of detail that really stands out—strength and reliability are the name of the game here.
What I love about these rods is the meticulous process they go through. Each one is torqued and re-torqued during machining. They start off getting rough honed, then the bolts come off, and the rod and cap are separated. This step is crucial because it releases any residual stress that could lead to failure down the line. After that, they’re reassembled and honed again. When you install these in your engine, you can trust that they’ll stay perfectly round, which is a big deal for performance builds.
Now, if you’re thinking about upgrading from standard I-beam rods, this is a solid choice. These rods are designed to maximize your engine’s potential, especially if you’re pushing some serious horsepower.
Note: Just a quick reminder—the image you see is a representation and not the actual parts. Make sure you know what you’re getting!
In short, if you’re serious about your build and want rods that can handle the heat while delivering performance, these Texas Speed Billet LSX Connecting Rods are worth considering.
