Carrillo is my go to rod but product development requires that I try different directions. I've used Carrillo rods since before they perfected their design. Carrillos would regularly break small ends literally sawing the motor in half.
You could easily ask the same question about every nuanced choice.
Why my own intake? Why use old pistons for casting material? Why a 964 crank instead of a GT3? Why back-date an 87 when I could just buy a long hood chassis? Why use early turbo brakes when Big Reds work so well? Why Bilstien instead of JRZ?
The possibilities are endless but when I try something new/innovative, I generally use my own cars as a test bed.
