Mr. Gill and Mr. Warfield have been busy. I suspect his carbon fiber bellhousing would not be SEMA approved...

How do 4-5 layers @ .060" thick equal a combined thickness of .0250"?

Saw these a few days ago. Say they are 3D printed "Composite" 77g total weight. Claim they are good for 3000hp and 15k rpm.

Hi guys...bumping up an old one here I apologize. I've been reading here many years and don't post much. Always appreciated the reading material.

Has anyone ever bought and received connecting rods from AWA Composites? Has anyone taken a swing at operating them? Thanks.
