rod bolts I seen a post where someone suggested using LS3 rod bolts (11570662) over exspensive arp or Katech bolts.
Im rebuilding my 5.3 as a mild build but want room to add on later. Was looking at the katechs.
Are the ls3 bolts capable of a decent build and going to the track once in a while?

Yeah I'm going to upgrade the rod bolts while everything is apart. Now just deciding between Arp and the Katechs. both are going to cost around $200.
Machine shop want $15 per rod to resize for Arp $80 bolts.

ARP has a good name, I've never seen them fail unless pushed beyond what they were made for.
Rod bolts are definitely not a place to scrimp on, and always resize the big end of the rod when you put in new bolts.
