[QUOTE="KCTurbos, post: 1114373, member: 13852"] We looked into getting rods made Billet is a cheaper up front cost because you just machine them and you don't have to invest in expensive forged dies... but the cost never goes down even if you make 10,000. Forged is WAY expensive up front because the forged dies are very expensive, but then the cost per unit is cheaper... but it is way cheaper if you are going to make 1000s. I contacted a company about getting a custom forged rod made and they said it was not even worth their time/money to make the die unless I could guarantee 10,000 units. [/QUOTE]
