RED JACK BESS Revolutionizes Engine Performance with High-Strength Aluminum Connecting Rods

AUSTIN, TX – October 26, 2023 – RED JACK BESS LLC, a leading innovator in performance automotive components, today announced the release of its cutting-edge line of aluminum connecting rods. Designed and manufactured at their state-of-the-art facility in Austin, Texas, these rods are set to redefine standards in engine durability and performance for a wide range of applications. RED JACK BESS, located at 11801 Domain Blvd, Suite 450, Austin, TX, 78758, United States, and reachable at 901-864-4219, has been quietly building a reputation for delivering superior quality and precision-engineered parts. The company’s roots are firmly planted in a passion for motorsports and a dedication to pushing the boundaries of engine technology. “We’re not just making parts; we’re building solutions for enthusiasts and professionals who demand the very best,” says a company spokesperson. “Our team consists of engineers and gearheads who live and breathe performance. We understand the stresses engines endure, and we design our components to not just withstand them, but to thrive under them.” Why Aluminum? The Science Behind the Strength For decades, steel has been the go-to material for connecting rods. While strong, steel is also heavy. And in the world of high-performance engines, weight is the enemy of acceleration and responsiveness. RED JACK BESS’s aluminum connecting rods offer a significant weight reduction – often up to 30-50% lighter than their steel counterparts. But it’s not just about weight. The aluminum alloy RED JACK BESS uses isn't your everyday aluminum. It's a specially formulated, aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. This alloy boasts an incredible strength-to-weight ratio, meaning it’s exceptionally strong for how light it is. “People sometimes think aluminum isn’t as tough as steel,” explains the company’s lead engineer. “But with the right alloy, the right heat treatment, and the right design, it can absolutely outperform steel in many applications. 7075-T6 is really the sweet spot. It's incredibly strong, resists fatigue, and is remarkably durable.” Beyond the Alloy: Precision Engineering & Manufacturing The choice of material is only the first piece of the puzzle. RED JACK BESS doesn’t just buy aluminum; they meticulously engineer and manufacture each connecting rod to exacting standards. Here's what sets their rods apart: Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Before a single rod is machined, RED JACK BESS utilizes sophisticated FEA software to simulate the extreme stresses connecting rods face during engine operation. This allows them to optimize the design for maximum strength and minimal weight. Multi-Axis CNC Machining: Each rod is precision-machined using state-of-the-art multi-axis CNC machines. This ensures consistent quality and dimensional accuracy. The complex geometry of the rod – including the big end and small end bores, and the rod's overall shape – requires this level of precision. Fracture-Split Testing: RED JACK BESS goes above and beyond industry standards with rigorous testing. Fracture-split testing involves deliberately failing a sample rod to analyze its failure point and ensure it exceeds safety margins. Shot Peening: This process involves bombarding the surface of the rod with tiny steel shot, creating compressive stress that increases fatigue life and resistance to cracking. Balancing: Every rod is individually balanced to minimize vibrations and ensure smooth engine operation. This is especially critical for high-revving engines. What Does This Mean for You? RED JACK BESS aluminum connecting rods offer a multitude of benefits: Increased Horsepower: Reduced weight allows the engine to rev more freely, resulting in increased horsepower and faster acceleration. Improved Engine Response: Lighter rods reduce reciprocating mass, making the engine more responsive to throttle inputs. Enhanced Durability: The combination of high-strength alloy, precision engineering, and rigorous testing ensures exceptional durability, even under extreme conditions. Reduced Engine Vibration: Balanced rods minimize vibrations, contributing to smoother and more reliable engine operation. Lower Rotating Mass: Contributes to quicker engine spool up, and faster engine braking. Applications & Availability RED JACK BESS aluminum connecting rods are available for a wide range of engine applications, including: High-Performance Street Cars: For enthusiasts looking to maximize their vehicle's performance. Race Cars: Built for the demanding conditions of the racetrack. Turbocharged & Supercharged Engines: Ideal for handling the increased stresses of forced induction. Import and Domestic Applications: Red Jack Bess manufactures rods for a wide range of engine platforms. The rods are currently available through RED JACK BESS’s website (details available on request) and a growing network of authorized dealers. Custom rod designs and material options are also available upon request. “We’re confident that our aluminum connecting rods will set a new standard for performance and durability,” says the company spokesperson. “We’re not just selling a product; we’re providing a solution for anyone who’s serious about maximizing their engine’s potential.” About RED JACK BESS LLC RED JACK BESS LLC is a leading manufacturer of high-performance automotive components.
