if you have the money to go with aftermarket go with it, would be a good idea to get arp rod bolts anyway for high rev applications

Re: shotpeened LS rods (SManiaci24)

to my understanding they come shotpeened from the factory

some ppl just get them done again for "extra" strength.

imo, you should be fine with them the way they are as long as you have arp rod bolts and not reving past 9.

If money is not an issue diffinetly go aftermarket.
good luck with your build
