I think the bolts in those billet rods are basically ARP 2000, but I'm not sure. I've seen those rods go in a lot of 1000+hp Vipers and live. An upgrade couldn't hurt, as long as the housings stay within spec.

You could just get a set of dyers rods and they are proven 1500+ horsepower rods. Tom kempf has them in his motor and runs high 7's
