Construction & Design:
SCAT’s Pro Comp connecting rods are meticulously crafted from forged 4340 steel, a material renowned for its high tensile strength and durability under extreme loads. The I-beam beam style offers an excellent balance between rigidity and weight savings, reducing reciprocating mass to improve engine responsiveness. Each rod undergoes precision machining and shot-peening processes to enhance surface finish and fatigue resistance. The polished finish not only improves appearance but also helps prevent corrosion and stress fractures during high-RPM operation. ARP 2000 alloy bolts secure the caps with a 12-point head design, ensuring reliable clamping force and easy installation.
Installation & Fitment:
This set of eight connecting rods is designed to fit a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Hemi engines, including 5.7L, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk models. Installation requires custom pistons when using rod lengths other than the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. The rods are clearanced for stroker crankshafts, making them suitable for engine builds that increase displacement beyond stock configurations. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque specifications and alignment for optimal engine performance and reliability.
