Default K1 Rods
looking for some feedback on K1 Rods. I see on the website they are "Finished in the USA". Assume that means they are cast in China. Want to upgrade to a better rod with my Mahle piston set-up. Motor should not be over 600HP now, but want to get it ready for future add on's. Thanks

They are nice and they are forged not cast, but yes they are forged overseas.

Thanks for the reply....I meant forged. Would you pick these over a set of Callies?

Callies are more money and have ARP2000 bolts in them but they are both great. You just have to see what you want for the money.
