Construction & Design

The BoostLine rods are precision forged from 4340 chromoly steel, a material renowned for its exceptional tensile strength and toughness—critical qualities for managing the high cylinder pressures typical of diesel engines. The patented three-pocket design reduces overall weight while increasing big-end stiffness, which improves stability and reduces the risk of deformation under heavy loads.

Each connecting rod is equipped with premium ARP 2000 fasteners engineered to maintain consistent clamping force and resist stretching during high-stress operation. This combination of superior materials and innovative design ensures the rods maintain structural integrity and engine reliability, even in the most demanding performance builds.
