If you don't plan on putting a 200 shot of nitrous down its throat I would use the stock rods with arp rod bolts and have a machine shop rework the big ends. I used them in my race car last season for 6 races so I know they can take abuse that was reving from 4500-8500 over and over and over... go fast turn left.
