You can have them shot peened and it would handle a lot more than stock rods would and cost less than buying eagles or crower rods.

~$350 for a solid bottom end and peace of mind

Might as well get some low compression forged pistons and do it right the first time so that the motor can really take a beating

I agree, if you are going through the trouble to put in pistions then do the rods as well. it just makes sense
