When I think aluminized, i think aluminized steel. Sounds just like stock rods coated w/ aluminum or something. I've never heard of it either.
Aluminum rods hold 1800hp? Doesnt seem like they'd hold up like titanium

Probably the same advantage as that flux capacitor i'm selling!
well u see, aluminzation of said rods allows you to brag about having aluminized rods and a lighter wallet, which helps out with car weight reduction, therfore making your car faster and more responsive
Aluminized rods have more corrosion resistance compared to non-aluminized. This is very helpful if the motor sits outside (and not run) for a long time.
