Default callies rods

I'm thinking bout building a bigger motor that can handle a 300 shot of nitrous.

I have pretty much decided on the Callies crank (engine builder says easier to balance than Eagle), JE nitrous pistons, but am not sure on the rods.

I am thinking I should do more than the standard Eagle H beam rods. Engine builder suggested Callies rods as an upgrade. I havent really heard a lot about them. Should these be good enough to handle 800rwhp or should I step it up to a Lunati billet rod?

As far as other internals, someone mentioned I should use "hellfire rings" for nitrous.

Any other suggestions?

You might want to post this question in the nitrous section.........I know you'll get some good responses in there, and yes I would think the Callies rod should work fine.

Todd, I'm trying to figure out whether to leave the house or not on these tires.

Todd how much more expensive are Callies cranks than Eagle? Say for a 4" stroke.

The Callies rods are very good rods.
APE uses them quite often and really like them.
