I looked at Eagle SIR, but they say they are rated up to 500hp. Now, from all the research i've done, stock rods w/ ARP bolts will handle 500hp, so why bother upgrading to SIRs?

Finding a stock-length rod isn't a problem, it's finding one thats good and strong, and isn't bushed (and is under $400)!

Suggestions?

Why do you want press fitted pins? I'd be willing to bet the Eagle rods are better than stockers regardless of the rating.

We run the Eagle H-beam rods, but they are bushed.
