Default Best rods to handle 1300+hp

I'm looking for the best rods to handle a 1300 to 1600hp turbo LSX motor. What do you guys suggest?

my first choice would be Carillo, second choice Oliver. The Olivers are rated to 2000hp, and I think the Carillos might be even higher.

If it is a strip only car I would do a set of GRP Aluminum Rods, otherwise Callies Ultra Billet H-Beams would be my street car choice. Any more power and the Ultra Billet I-Beams would be my go-to rod.

The Callies Ultra Billet H-beam would be a good fit for that power level.

I do drive it on the street sometimes so aluminum rods are out. I looked at the callies ultra but the Oliver's are actually cheaper. Anyone ever heard of RandR rods? I heard they are really good
