As for the rods.... There's a number of sealed motor classes in the circle burners running these rods, from talking with a couple of the guys that run them the rods do hold up amazingly well. If the 7000 rpm shots were the exception, not the rule based on what some racers dudes have said about the rods, you're probably going to be fine! There was certainly a ton of sbc's with pink rods that went 7,000 quite often, guess they worked good then cuz we just didn't know any better!!!!! The new manufacturing technologies on some of these OEM parts is really fantastic, getting more ponies out of a stock engine then we got with "race" engines---and they come with a 3 year warranty!!!!!
Yeah yrs ago we used to run pink rods in super gas cars.So if the powder are better than they are.My comments/suggestions are more related to the imported junk.Hell yrs ago we used to run Buick rods machined to SBC sizes to get just alittle longer rod.And we spun the hell out of them.
