Stole some rods!

this morning at Diesel Tech, i was ebaying before class started, my teacher wanted to show me a 1999 PS with only 17 miles on it, and we were looking all around and couldnt find it. but, we did come across a set if nice Forged Rods. and for a nice price too. so i bought them. im going to keep them on the shelf and wait for the rebuild.

You say you stole them.

Are you going to tell us how much you got them for?

Nah about 500 will be max, there are some running well above that but they wont be for long. That is why so many are going with billet rods, anything over 500 hp and its just to much of a gamble to run forged rods. Ask some of the people who have been into psd performance for awhile how many sets of forged rods theyve ruined, you will be very suprised.
