Default age old rod question

Hey all, looking for opinions/recommendations for rods. These are my options, Eagle H-Beam, Callies Pro I-Beam, or Callies new on center H-Beam. Going in a low compression 408, starting with nitrous, possibly going to turbo around tax season. Thanks.

Well, do you have a budget? Quite a bit of price difference between the rods you listed. Don't rule out Lunati rods.

It's about a $300 difference between the lowest and highest price between the 3 I listed.

Corrillo rods. eBay it and get them slightly used for a KILLER price from one of the NASCAR teams. They're real lightweight, REAL strong, and come with many diff. options and in 1,000,000 sizes. My $.02...

Have you considered Manley rods?

Between those listed my preference would be Callies H beam.

If it had to be one of those options, the Callies H- beam would be my choice.
