pretty sure its 2200 for the pistons and rods, or 4600 for the complete shortblock, correct?

I'd love this set-up, just didnt think it would be such a difference when I just sold my new turbo tuff rods and pistons, for only half these cost. I know its not at all off the shelf, can you explain whats done to the pistons on this set-up? thanks

any group buy options being planned?

Unabomber · 09-12-2012, 07:22 PM

Commence sucking up to get a set....your phone will start ringing in 3...2...1...

aboothman · 09-12-2012, 09:03 PM

Glad too hear these are being released...

Crystal_Imprezav · 09-14-2012, 05:00 PM

Most likely JE FSR style pistons and lightend I-beam style rods Micah developed.

Turn in Concepts · 09-17-2012, 12:06 PM

Rods yes. Pistons are something new.

Oh, and sloped floor to promote more barrel swirl.

Well, um... wow. not quite sure what to say on that one.

3MI Racing · 09-25-2012, 03:46 PM

Things can always be made lighter but lighter isn't free. I think the Honey Badger is a good balance of value and performance, which is something that TIC and myself were working to balance out for you guys.

If we really wanted to go super light; titanium rods and berylium piston could be an option but most guys won't want to pay approx $5k per cylinder

Prendatram · 10-22-2012, 02:30 PM

any update on this stuff. It be cool if you could get a honey badger logo or animal stamped into the block somewhere that be cool.

Now, Micah - you and I both know it won't be 5k per cylinder. Realistically only about 4.8k.

that is a thought....

I have not pushed them hard for a couple of reasons. I only ordered 10 sets of rods and pistons, and they are going pretty fast. I don't want to push it too much out there and then get flooded with orders that I can't fill for a long time. I'm also holding off a bit as I want people to see numbers and get them more excited about it.

Crystal_Imprezav · 10-22-2012, 04:10 PM

Clint what combo of pistons and rods do you have? I may get a set for a project I am working on if you have what i am looking for.

timeXlost · 10-25-2012, 08:34 PM

Man, we talked about this months ago and I've been holding off. I want this so badly.
