Scat I-beam rods
I was planing on running stock LS1 cracked rods, with ARP or KATECH rod bolts, but after pricing the hardware and machine shop costs to hone the stockers with the new hardware. I'd only be about $100 away from getting the foraged Scat I beams.
Here is a link to the SCAT rods http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SCA-26100927/
would it be money well spent?
Also I already have my pistons, and my block is already honed for my pistons so I REQUIRE a stock length rod, I also have seen K1 H-beam rods in the stock length for about $200 more than the Scats, but I haven't heard anything about K1
Thanks,
Tom D

Oh and the motor is an iron 6.0L .030 over with Mahle flat top pistons. I'm hoping for 500~550hp at the crank with heads & cam. It's going to get sprayed from time to time, not sure how much I guess it depends on my weakest link. I figure if I keep the stock rods they will be the weak link.

Hey,before you buy those scats,I've got a set of manely I beams that look just like those and are also stock lenght.They are used but in perfect condition and you can have them for half the price of those new scats.I can get pics this weekend if you want.

Does anyone make an affordable 6.1" rod for the larger pin?

I found SCAT part # 2-ICR6100-944P which is the same rod as the one I posted a link to, but designed for a Pressed .944" pin. Can I use a rod designed for a pressed pin with a floating pin piston? It looks like the .927" rods have a bushing in the small end and the .944" rods do not.

I saw the Scat H beams, for the .944" pins P/N# 2-LS1-6100-2100-945
I don't want to have some over the top rods if my pistons or rings or crank are only mediocre at best. if that makes sense.
