We have used tons and tons of Molnar rods and I can tell you, the finished product from Molnar far exceeds the quality of Scat rods. I know they both start out as Chinese rods but the quality is much better on the Molnar and we have several sets in pretty stout bracket engines ( over 1000hp ) and I know of several sets in higher hp turbo cars. I think you'd be happy with the rods from Tom Molnar.
