Default quality of crower connecting rods? anyone hear of these?

http://www.sdpc2000.com/catalog/2812...cting-Rods.htm

im 99.9 % sure this is what id want to use with aftermarket pistons and my stock crank correct? the .927 and 6.125 length....

will be running a 232/234 .600/.600 cam and flat top pistons.

this piston kit uses je pistons and comes with everything for that i think right? it will work with those rods i believe? just have to know what to order and give to my machine guy.

Default Crower

Crower makes first line rods. I use their steel billet and titanium rods exclusively in the stuff I build. You will not go wrong with these Sportsman rods for the LS1.

Make sure the pistons have a .927" pin diameter so they work with these rods. I notice the pin size is not listed for the pistons.

thanks, just wondering if u reccommend them for a 346 with possibly cam/heads and 150-200 shot in the future? will they withstand say 550-650rwhp like a lunati or eagle rod might? reason i ask is b/c those are only 480$ vs the otehrs which are a good bit more.
