Cab, how good is the quality of the cat,rpm,ohio crank connecting rods?

I haven't used or ran the Ohio Crankshaft rods so I'm not sure. I have used Manley,CAT, RPM, Eagle, Carillo and Oliver steel billet rods and some BME aluminums. I bought and used the Manleys before trying the CAT and RPM brand in my own motors, I don't like recommending or using unknown parts in customer motors so I try to use them first. When I bought the RPM I ordered CAT and the wharehouse subsistuted them with RPM According to them (the wharehouse)the CAT, RPM, SCAT and Eagle all come out of the same factory in China, I thought CAT came form mainland China and Eagle, RPM and SCATs came form Taiwan, they said ansolutely not I did have one set ot the CAT, RPM 7.1 long H beal rods have issues with going out of round when the customer detonated the motor with pump gas and to much timing climbing a grade in the summer time I've been trying to get them back so I can have the heat treat checked and see for myself how much out of round they are now, no luck getting them back so far I'm still working on it
