It's not possible to torque the inner bolt correctly/efficently and also difficult to get a stretch gauge in there. I've tested this a while ago with straight rods.

If you want to pay for them, I could have a set in 3 weeks with proper angle on the caps...

Trust me, the 300M rods are a much better bang for the buck

I would like to see them after someone else pays for them.

Well considering all of my EJ rods have been for forced induction and then of various usage and power ratings...lightest that I've done is a 490 grams in stock dimensions for a serious autocross customer that goes to nationals. He's pushing 400'ish whp and lb-ft

As I'm not a vendor on here yet, as I don't have any FRS specific parts yet, I can't post prices...

They are in the works.

To be honest though, I'm working on a 4340 since they are a good deal cheaper. I carry both for my EJ engines and use 300M where it is actually a beneficial bang for the buck.

Just an idea of what some custom EJ25 rods look like:
