which rods to use?

I would like to know what you guys think. I am debating between a few rod choises. lmk whinch one would be the best buy.

-Brian Crower (BC) billet rods with arp 625 aged rod bolts
-race engeenering billet rods
-Manley turbo tuff rods

these are all steel rods, also about the same price range
as for the motor it would be an 85mm type-r block with an LS crank it will be boosted and looking for 650-850 whp approx.

thanks for the help

We have always used the Manley Turbo Tuff rods in all of our motors.

Re: which rods to use?

I have the ARP 625+ aged bolts in my turbo tuff's. I have yet to make competitive "outlaw" power though. Never heard of 365 aged bolts.... is that a typo by chance?

Like others say you should look into at least .220 wall pins as well.

Re: which rods to use?

I'm not saying that one is better than the other but there is a difference between CROWER and Brian Crower....IMO the ARP 2000 bolts work just fine unless you will be turning the motor at a really high rpm.
