002-M-P...I definitely agree with you.
Many people are going overboard with safety precautions...mainly because of the horror stories they've heard.

They are "huge" overkill for all but the >800rwhp club.
Not many there yet , are there?
For the same cost there are better matched , lighter alternatives that don't require mass to be added to the crank counterwieghts to dynamically balance the assembly. For example most forged I-beams out there (Carillo and Crower to name a few) are a better "balanced" choices. It's just easier to get a supply of Pauters.

Crower and Carrillo both have the be machined to fit.

I think cheaper choices have came out since I was interested in the 350Z (Eagle?).

Thats true , The trade off is more time on the rods vs more time on the crank.
With Pauters , you spend more time adding weight to the crank vs fitting the rods. I prefered a lighter assembly that is better matched to my power objectives of roughly 650rwhp tops.
My point was that people have seen bent and broken VQ rods over the last 2 years and kinda "freaked to the extreme". Not such a bad thing just overkill IMO.

Overkill is a word that doesnt exist in my vocabulary. I thought the twin disc carbon ATS clutch would be overkill....as I orginally had no plans to run more than 550whp. Now I wish I bought the triple!!! Since the clutch is slipping at 600whp+.
