are they worth the extra money i have a knock now so ill already be tearing it down all i plan on useing is a 100 shot heads and ms3 cam and what brands are a fair price and good combo i dont wanna spend over 1000 on rods and pistions

 

A 6.125 h beam Compstar rod will run you 607.00, depending on the piston, it will be difficult to stay under a grand for both. You can figure at least 600+ on a decent piston.

 

It's hard to get rods AND pistons for under a grand. Remember, you will have to get bearings and the block will need some work as well. We run a lot of Callies and had good results. There are some cheaper if you absolutely need to save money also. We have run a lot of Wiseco pistons without a single issue. They come with a nice stainless/napier ringset standard which is additional from most other piston manufacturers. We can get you setup with everything you need. I believe if you go with the Callies/Wiseco combo, you are around $1450 w/ bearings. Let me know what you think. We might be able to cut some corners if you must.

sounds good ill have too see what the machine shop says before i make my order what kind of power does that combo support

 

You could also look at a Compstar Rod w/ a Mahle Piston option. For a 100 shot, I would have no problem running a Mahle piston. You can get the piston w/ rings much cheaper than a Weisco or Diamond and it would fall much closer to your budget as well.

 

We have some customers making 1000+ with a Callies rod and Wiseco piston combo. As long as the tune up is correct, they will take a good deal of abuse. Like mentioned above, you can go with a Mahle piston if you are looking for more of a stock replacement. But for a little more money I would get the better one. You can save a little on the rod and go with an Eagle or Scat, but if it's me, I'm putting a quality piston in there.

I got the compstar rods and wiseco piston set with the nitrous rings from TSP (great guys) ,, cant be done for nowhere near a grand.....And dont buy used, just asking for trouble.

 

I've been seeing a lot of Scat rods being used lately. For ~$200, thats a hell of a deal IMO, but I wouldn't put it in a 1000bhp nitrous engine.
