Re: rods

I would suggest Oliver. I've seen them stay together through some nasty engine failures. I have NEVER seen a broken Oliver rod. That's not to say it hasn't happened as I'm sure it has.

Re: rods

I would say Oliver, but you also pay for it too.

Re: rods

I just finished 1 stroker with carillo's and I am finshing 1 with olivers this week. olivers are a little smaller on the big end but both cleared the cam without any clearance work. both rods seem very nice and I have no doubt both should be able to handle over 1k hp without fail.
