Which Eagle rods for these JE pistons? I just got these JE pistons-these are the specs: JE LS1 Forged Flat Top Piston set w/ -2cc Valve Reliefs 3.905" BORE / 3.622" Stroke / 6.125" Rods / 1.175" Comp Height / .927 x 2.500 (118g) Wrist Pins .
Now Eagle sells 2 6.125 rods:
CRS6125B3D 6.125 660g Uses .927" piston pin / w/offset
CRS6125O3D 6.125 620g Uses .927" piston pin / on center
One is one centre-the other has an offset? Which one do i need-I'm using the stcok crank? Also what is the difference besides the weight?
Thanks!

Both will work just fine, but the on-center rod would be the better choice as the LS1s have an on-center rod from the factory. I'm using them in my daily driver 382ci motor with the ARP2000 bolt upgrade. For the money, they are hard to beat.

Hey Jason-small world-these are the pistons you where selling a while back. Thanks for the info-i'll order up the on-center rods-and the bonus is there lighter too. Why is that? Also are the 2000 rod bolt upgrade worth it-this for FI bottom end.
