ok, sounds like I need to re-consider Compstar and Molnar rods.

I wished Callies would make an Ultra H-Beam for Mopar, I'm hearing Chevy builders are really impressed with them and hearing that some Oliver rod are having some issues which never used to happen.

I'm only going to make 850 or less HP so I know Eagle, Scat, Molnar and Compstars would do all I need just thought I'd look into a better rod for a little more insurance and be able to run them for 3,000 passes and not worry about them (since I'm putting them in my KB block), other than to change the bolt every now and then.

Thanks for the help guys!



Molnar is the only one(in this price range) that will garantee that the rods he sells you will be good to "X" amount of HP. That kinda says something IMO.



Don't know Molnar, but frankly making a statement like that saying a rod is guaranteed to a certain horsepower I would find a negative, not a positive.

I know I ran 7500 rpm hundreds of passes in my 9 sec small block with compstars, with 13+ compression,then sold the car. Current owner had the motor completely refurbished couple seasons ago and the rods were reused( Best Machine). They still checked fine.
The fact they like them is plenty good for me. I thought they were great looking units when I originally bought them.
