rod choices
ok im not one to cheap out especialy on vital engine parts. and i have always believed in you get what you pay for.
but i ran across these today and i wanted to know what you guys thinkabout them. im not really looking to buy them.

they look just like eagle rods. (and that is what i plan on using)

and it says they come with arp rod bolts and you can pay an extra $40 to get upgraded arp bolts.

they sell for $249 and if you add the extra $40 for arp rod bolts than that is $290, which is only $40 shy of a set of eagle rods. might as well just pay the extra and get the trusted brand. right?

yea that is what i would say, since its so close to the actual price of eagle rods. now if it was like 150.00 less then those rods might be worth it.
