    what rods to use?

     



    I'm putting together a 350 that will be putting out around 450 hp ( I hope) so I want to upgrade the rods to maybe a eagle sir or a scat. Any advice on what rod to use? Thanks

    There is not a lot of difference between the Eagle SIR and the SCAT I-beams. Both are forged in China and machined here in the states. Some say they like the finish on SCAT better, but I have Eagle SIR rods, and I didn't see any blemishes or imperfections. Either one would serve you well.
