ARC billet rod

[elbasquo]

How many of you are running the 6.5hp clone with a pulled governor, billet or stock flywheel, but stock rod? I have gathered a HF 6.5hp, UNI filter with AKG adapter, ARC billet flywheel, ARC short header, and a Gecker throttle plate with a Walbro fuel pump. I might of asked this before but I can't remember. I was disappointed with Gecker, but that is another story.
Has anyone thrown a rod on these?

You need to give us more info. ALOT of people here are running a stock rod and flywheel with a pulled governer. What kind of RPM do you want to run? And when in dought buy the billet rod. Even the rod with bearings now is $59.

5300-5400 rpm. I hear yah. I'm planning on buying the rod. I was mainly interested in finding out the truth about the strength of the stock rods. It seems some people throw them racing mainly.
