Default USED Crower rods or NEW Eagle rods (B18C)

I can get a sweet deal on USED (2500 mi) Crower rods. Should I jump on it ... or just get NEW Eagle rods with ARP rod bolts? What rod bolts come with Crower?

I plan on making 350 MAX WHP ... and running only 3-5 PSI on the street. 12-15 PSI when racing.

check the rods for serious signs of abuse, like metal discoloration, rough edges on the bearing surfaces, or anything like that. At 2500 miles, they should still look new. They come with ARP's, BTW.

I'd go with the Crowers if they check out.

If they are the older style Crower rods in good condition, you can't go wrong. I don't know about some of the newer cheaper Crower rods that just came out.
