The Lunati billet rods are close in price with the Olivers. When I built my motor I had two of my own choices. Oliver or Lunati billet. I went with Lunati billet only because the engine builder got a better price on them, so in the long run it was like $400 differance. I feel as they're both equal in quality and both are made in the USA.

It depends on your budget.
To some people calling Sterling and ordering 3 (got to have a spare) 1200's is on a budget
Unfortunaltey in my case I don't think I could afford the flame arrestors on those motors

I've looked at those kits several times for a referance point, I've had some emails with the tech guy at Flatlander and was treated like crap I'd pay double to buy from someone else!

Dyno,
I have been running Oliver rods in my 565" motor for three years. They are indestructible.. Well I had a wrist pin walk into the cylinder wall at 4800rpms and put an S bend in the rod, but never cracked it.. Oliver magnafluxed. It is now one of thier show pieces at the events they go to. I would go with them again, because they do treat me right and it is an American product built here in Grand Rapids.
I originally bought them at a real good price from Callies.. those guys are the greatest!!!!! Call and talk to Brook, topshelf guys, they back their stuff up beyond belief.. Just my experience!!
