Off topic a bit, but just wanted to say thanks for participating on the forum here. I know you took a bunch of criticism and what not, but didnt lose your cool and kept it technical based on the other threads. Also, thanks for proving your not just here to sell parts or push anything, per your convo with my buddy who contacted you about some parts he wanted prices on.
Was hoping to make it to PRI this year and swing past the booth, but my work schedule isnt going to cooperate.

all though i have never used a k1 or the molnar rod i have installed a lot of eagle rods with arp2000 bolts,and some with 8740 bolts on lower power standard stroke stuff.imo if dan chooses to go with rods in that price range the eagle with arp2000 is as good of a choice as any.i check the big end of every rod that i am going to install for size&roundness and the eagle,s have always checked out good.

Absolutely. The shorter the rod for a given stroke, the more rod angle. Short rod angles can accelerate the piston quickly which will put more demand on the induction and give a little better "quick" cylinder filling, but at the cost of higher side loading of the piston and more friction in the cylinder. Good for drag racing and short acceleration distances. Not so good for endurance or long, higher rpm runs.
