Each Tuscan design is different from any other design because they are custom-crafted and optimized by our engineers using the latest CAD and FEA software. This is in contrast to the industry standard which simply resizes standard designs to fit new engines. Each application is vigorously tested in our in-house engine test cell. We have gone the extra mile to design specific big ends for each application, keeping the bearing in place and reducing chances of failures. This results in a connecting rod that is uniquely strong and light, for the ultimate in performance and reliability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px; color: #303030; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px; color: #303030; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eDesigned Through Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eTuscan connecting rods represent the leading edge of technology for bottom end strength, reliability, and light weight.

Additionally, an extensive iterative process lead to the unique Egg shape of our rod beams, which lowers stresses as much as 20% compared to less evolved designs. This shape very evenly distributes the high compression loading from a turbocharged engine onto the connecting rod beam. We then validated this success with over 18 months of field testing, powering numerous 4 cylinder VW \/ Audi engines with over 1000 bhp! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eIn addition to being tough, IE Tuscan rods are also designed to minimize unnecessary weight on the connecting rod for an ultra balanced weight to strength ratio.
