These large journal conrods, are they worth my while trying to get for a 1275 build?
Going to be built for track/hot road.
Is a large journal crank something to be wary of getting?

i like large journal cranks

either to stroke them longer,,, or as they are

& if i leave them as they are then i prefer to use A+ rods ,,, preferably A+ turbo rods if you can find them

but thats just me, others may (& do often) have differing opinions

Yeap, large journal all the way.

Matt, I've never seen Turbo Rods and they are not listed in any of the Metro Parts books. Got a part number or pic?
