There's a lot more to rod selection then just HP......like RPM, piston weight, etc. I will admit its a little over my head, but I have enjoyed learning about it lately while researching my build. Looking into the Carrillo H beam with CARR bolts or the Callies Ultra I beam with custom age 625 bolts for myself.

Here are some nice rods if your considering eagle or scat. $559!!! This guy has been in the Rod business for over 30 years and ran some of the top companies like Oliver etc. Worth looking into. They even offer a pretty sweet proprietary ARP2000 bolt with asymmetrical threads similar to the CARR.

I'm hearing from multiple sources that Oliver does not have the same quality anymore since change of ownership and multiple location changes. Thier design seems to be a better version of the I beam....hopefully they get straightened out.

you should see what crower wants for a set,,like 1800 for a set of billet rods..i would go with the oliver rods,,i have seen a oliver rod cut into a bryant crank at over .100 thou and the rod never broke..amazing stuff..if you go yo ohio crank they haver forged olivers for under a grand and the billet ones for under 1500..

Back when I was racing dirt cars, I found a source for used NASCAR parts and bought quite a few sets of 6.2" Lentz rods that had been used for 1 race. They were certainly a quality piece and every one that I purchased was perfect. No problem holding up in 430ci 750hp late model engines. I have no idea what they make for big blocks though. Just thought I would share, as I have never heard mention of them since then.
