Carrillo DR7001-8 Drag Race Forged Connecting Rod Set

The Carrillo DR7001-8 is a professional-grade drag race connecting rod set from CP-Carrillo, one of the most trusted names in high-performance internal engine components.

Key Features:

• Drag Race (DR) Series: Purpose-engineered for drag racing applications where peak power output and reliability under extreme load are paramount
• Proprietary Carrilloy Steel: Each rod is manufactured from CP-Carrillo's exclusive Carrilloy alloy — a chrome, nickel, moly, vanadium steel that meets all VAR (vacuum arc re-melt) ASTM standards for superior strength and fatigue resistance
• Forged from Oversized Blanks: Machined from oversized proprietary steel forgings to ensure proper grain flow and guaranteed removal of any surface inclusions
• Rigorous Quality Control: Every rod is magnafluxed at least twice and Rockwell hardness tested to validate the heat treat process, then laser-serialized for full traceability
• Shot Peened Finish: A final controlled shot peen operation relieves tensile stresses and imparts beneficial compressive stresses to maximize fatigue life
• High-Strength Rod Bolts: Equipped with CP-Carrillo's precision fastener system; bolts feature asymmetrical threads for evenly distributed thread engagement, increased clamp load, and improved fatigue life
• Made in the USA: Manufactured at CP-Carrillo's state-of-the-art facility in Irvine, California

CP-Carrillo connecting rods have been the choice of professional engine builders and racers across drag racing, oval track, road racing, and off-road motorsports for decades. The DR7001-8 delivers the precision, strength, and reliability that serious competition demands.
