Message: [QUOTE="PowerstrokeJunkie, post: 74114, member: 230"] Hypermax (i think) are the only 7.3 aftermarket connecting rod to used forged metal instead of a billet chunk of metal cut out. It is made the same basic way stock forged rods are, however a much stronger grade and stronger shape. Some believe forging is stronger than billet.... Steel has grain similar as wood has visible grain in it. In the machining process as the holes at either end of the rod are simply cut out of a billet chunk it cuts right through the grain. Forging the rods keeps the grain flowing out and around in the circle as the molten steel is poured in, and some people believe it makes a difference. The two big billet rod makers for 7.3's are hypermax, and crower. Either will take any hp your dinosaur can muster up [/QUOTE]
