The straight H-beam is the stoutest beam configuration available from CP-Carillo. It is capable of handling the most abusive forces in an engine.

CP-Carrillo employs fasteners designed by CP-Carrillo. There are two different materials: H-11 tool steel (220,000 ultimate tensile strength or UTS) aka WMC as well as Multiphase TM (285,000 UTS) aka CARR. All of their fasteners employ a patented thread design as well as the highest dimensional integrity in the industry. Each lot is sample tested destructively for both ultimate tensile strength as well as fatigue.

NOTE: Standard 8740 chrome-moly ARP rod bolts are rated at 180,000 and 210,000 psi UTS, and ARP 2000 rod bolts are rated at 220,000 psi UTS.
