Question what rod is this

i just purchased an LS1 for $60. i will be doing a write up on it here soon, but for now i was wondering what rods are in it. they have a fracture cap design and they seem to be rather stout. also i was wondering what the numbers mean on the pistons. any help would do wonders thanks in advance

i think some where around 550rwhp. but that might just be because of factory rod bolts. i know there are a few people pushing alot more.
