    there are alot of people out there with aluminum rods reving them out to 10k as a dd...there are people that have put 50k on aluminum rods. also there are people out there with steel rods revving to 10k also. i.e the carrillo rods .it also depends on what kind of power you are going to be putting down..there are aluminum rods out there that can only handle 500hp then there are some that can handle 1000+ so it depends on the application....
    and as far as bearings being eaten up...a well built motor you wouldnt have to worry about that...my personal app. for my 1000+hp 10k revving evo i will be either using carrillo rods or oliver rods
