The World’s First Two-piece Connecting Rod
Unleash the full power of your engine with Transcend Energy’s performance-enhancing Thunder Rod.
The Edge You’ve Been Looking For
Upgrade your engine’s performance with the patented, battle-tested Thunder Rod. With the addition of a secondary joint to the rod, pistons will drop faster and farther at a 90 degree crank angle, boosting dynamic compression by 25–30%. Take on the competition with greater leverage to the crankshaft, increased torque, and piston rock elimination.
Give Your Customers Better Performance with One Simple Upgrade
The Competition Looks Pretty Good…Especially in the Rear View
For decades, the internal combustion engine has stagnated—a lack of major improvements have left companies and teams starving for a competitive advantage. That changes today. With Transcend Energy’s all new two-piece connecting rod, we’ve transformed the future of traditional engines and expanded the possibilities of racing teams and general manufacturers alike. And the best part is, this isn’t some costly and complicated engine upgrade—it all comes down to the simple piston rod.
Working on Engines isn’t a job, it’s a lifestyle.
Founder and Chief Engineer Jon Woodward has been working on cars his entire life. Inspired by the designs of his father, National Car Builders Hall of Famer Jerry Woodward, Jon created the Thunder Rod as a tribute to and continuation of his family’s legacy.
