Some info from Carrilo:

To counteract rod fatigue, Carrillo Industries uses a proprietary steel, manufactured and forged to their own custom specifications. After experimenting with virtually every other reasonable material, Carrillo Industries have found that a chromium / nickel / vanadium / molybdenum FORGED alloy to be the best product to meet their stringent requirements for strength and durability.

Carrillo Industries connecting rods are fully machined to guarantee the removal of all surface imperfections in the forging. After heat treatment, each connecting rod is 100% magnaflux inspected and hardness checked, then machined to final size. Each set of rods is balanced and then shot peened to achieve the ultimate in strength and fatigue properties. Carrillo leaves no stone unturned during the quality check process.

Sorry, but this thread is not about the best ---- ever made on Earth, it's about "What's your forged internal choice." If you were really concerned with "the best", you would not waste your time with a Miata engine and you'd have something form a Honda or an LSx. Spending $1300 on rods and $700 on pistons for a Miata engine because you'll never exceed the limits of the cheap stuff. There are just about zero failures on these China-rods because basically no one is exceeding 75hp per cylinder.

Why dont' you mount your coils under the manifold, above the turbo, so you can just get it over-with and melt them immediately? Also, how many birds live in there?
