Default Quick feedback needed: Callies or K1 H-Rod for Wiseco pistons?

I have two rods I'm looking at to mate with a Wiseco 3.905 boare -3.2cc piston set: Callies H-Beam and K1 H-Beam, both with ARP2000 bolts.

If given the choice, which one would be best for a setup targeting 500rwhp, keeping in mind a stock crank is being used and will need balancing with the new set up.

Trying to order everything this lunch time so I can have them shipped out today.

Thanks for any and all feedback!!

Considering even stock rods are fine for 500 rwhp, I'd say either would be fine.

I am using the compstars with those same Wiseco pistons and I have had zero issues. I consistently have revved to 7200 rpms for the last 10k miles and it still sounds and runs fine.

Either would work. Get the lightest and cheapest. Both are overkill for your needs.

As stated previously both are rated for much more power then what you are asking. Whichever one you could get the best deal on is the way to go IMO.

Either will work fine, pick whichever one is cheaper and run it.
