Off: limits for PM rods....

[JN]

Go with Lunati Pro Mod Rods for a blower application.  $659.00 for a set of
8.  Look up Tony at www.dirttrackthunder.com  Best prices and service bar
none.  I'm building a NA 383 L98 for my Vette and I am using the Lunati
Street race rods with SRP forged pistons and a Scat steel stroker crank.  A
forged crank in my application is not worth the extra $1000.00 for Callies
or Lunati one pc version.  Oliver makes a nice rod but double the above
price for a set of those.  If money is an issue then a set of Eagle H-beams
should do just fine.   Bottom line, stay away from the pink rods or PM rods
for a blower applicaiton.  Whay risk it?
