Nice welcome for someone new. No, I haven't been here since I signed up. And just think, 399 posts ago you had only made 1 post. I've just started to read posts. It amazes me how some people think that they can know everything about someone while they know nothing about you.

I could go through a list of everything in my engine but I already know from your reply that it wouldn't matter. If this is the way you guys are here then I don't need to stay.

Chevy says that the PM rods are stronger than the pink rods so I think I will be just fine. My 302 will see only street driving with occasional 7000 RPM shots. I doubt it will ever see a run at the drag strip.

While it is true that PM rods are stronger than the OEM pink rods, the bolt is the weak link. I would highly advise replacing the stock rod bolts and having them resized before putting them in your engine. I would still feel more comfortable with forged H-beams at 7000 rpm, but that is my own personal opinion. Ignore the obnoxious message. Most of us on these forums are more interested in sharing our expertise with others.

My rods already have been magnifluxed, resized and have ARP bolts.
