Exclamation Wiseco/K1 Connecting Rods Available

Say whaaat?!

Stumbled upon this tonight. It looks like Wiseco just came out with new LNF rods for us... and almost half the price as some of the other options too.

The Home of WERKSracing products!

They worked together to make them. It's a joint product.

I'll fix the title to make it more specific though.

If you've already got Carrillos, I'd stick with those IMO. I hear they're very nice.

Seriously? I hadn't heard a peep about these. It's not even in their catalog.

Very nice and for 575 that isn't bad

I'll have to wait though for the eagle rods to come out and see how much they are before I make my purchase on these

Nice find though

the k1's have been around for awhile. BTF did have some at first and I also got a set from k1 directly for my build. Carillos are by far the best out for our car but these k1's should be able to hold a beating. I would say 800hp compaired to 1000-1200 for the carillos. The eagles will be lower, so the k1's will be the midrange. You can call either wiseco or k1 and buy a rod and piston kit. But these are not wiseco rods in any way, they they are part of a group of companies includeing je and clevite and work to bring packages to us. Just like cp and carillo. If anyone wants either wiseco pistons or k1 rods pm me and I will give you more info.

These have been available for a while. It's funny that we put them on the site last week-
Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance and then they put them up this week for $5 less. I'll have Tim lower the price on these.
