As you know, Pauter 4340 chromemoly, as well as our titanium rods have been part of the made in the USA performance aftermarket since the late 1980’s. What you may not be aware of is the fact that in those early days, we also supplied a small contingent of engine builders with our own line of aluminum rods. However, for reasons of manufacturing capacity, we kept production of these parts to a minimum while concentrating on increasing our market share of our exclusive Cross... beam steel and titanium rods, thus forcing their aluminum counterparts to take a necessary hiatus. Fast forward to 2014, with the addition of several high tech CNC machining centers, our production capacity has increased sufficiently to once again include aluminum to our current wide range of connecting rod applications. During the lapse in production of our aluminum rod program very little had changed in actual physical appearance of these parts. However, the same cannot be said with regard to the materials deemed suitable for the ever-increasing performance demands realized over the same time period. The popular aluminum alloys previously incorporated by most manufacturers, including ourselves, consisted mainly of the tried and true 7075 and 2024 series but thanks to advances in the aero-space materials industry, new alloys have been developed that combine the lower temperature high strength qualities of 7075 with the 2024 alloy’s advantage of better maintaining its base strength at greater operating temperatures. Over the years, aluminum has become widely used throughout the range of performance venues, including street applications. As such, our intent is to provide the best aluminum rod possible to those who would choose our product for whatever venue they, and our tech dept., believe suitable, whether your application is that of a mega horsepower pro mod, a 1.6 ltr Honda or something in between, our tech guys can provide the part to fill your performance needs. Over the past few years we have experienced an increased interest for aluminum rods in the small 4 and 6 cylinder import markets. Markets previously more inclined to steel rods, mainly due to size vs fitment limitations. A valid concern , for sure, but advances in rod design and materials, as well as willingness of engine builders to do what’s necessary to accommodate the often bulkier aluminum parts (in order to save weight) may explain this, especially when power demands dictate a rod mass not conducive to the use of steel.

Pauter / Tavares sanddrag team up date : After our last race in early 2014 , we have been absent from Sanddrag circuit due to SCSDA organization change in racing location and personal injury . We had some unfinished business in Soboba and will miss that race track !! During this time off, the car was evaluated !! After extreme theorizing, decided to re-engineered chassis and drive train and will start using the Pauter GEN-2 heads along with some new small components . We ...also been involved in the Dave Perkins VW Pro-Mod testing and development and look forward to racing in the asphalt . Here is a go-pro video from the 2015 Bugorama in Phoenix AZ, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5usVJW3JI4o **Looking forward to race at Victorville in Oct. 2-4 , and Nov.6-8 See more

Finished Testing & Ready for Order: Pauter's Porsche 911 Billet Tool Steel Rockers. Finished product weight came in just over 45 grams lighter than stock. DLC coating provides a reduced friction wear resistant surface.

With just minutes to spare, here's a little throwback Thursday for you. For reference, our new site is http://pauter.com Let us know what you think of the new look!

We're going to be hosting a Q&A over the next couple weeks. Send a message, email, fax, or homing pigeon our way with questions for our driver and he'll answer them in a blog post.

Fast Four final round: Tavares 281 over skidmore 268 RL. Robert w the quickest ever fast fours run. 2.684 new world record

Our pit is almost set up at DOME VALLEY RACEWAY
