alright, i'm planning on getting a larger cam in the future and spinning my motor to about 7000 RPM's (t-rex, ms3, etc). I figured the first thing i should do in preperation is rod bolts. As far as I know ARP makes the best bolts, is this true? If so, should I get the High-Performance bolts or the Pro-Series? If not, feel free to make a suggestion.

Now- after I get my rod bolts, what am I going to need to SAFELY spin to 7,000 RPM's? This is my DD so I dont need to have my **** falling apart, and I'm trying to do everything i can before hand.

Katech makes good rod bolts also.... Do a search... they are supposed better balanced.

If you plan to regularly spin the motor to 7K+ it won't last long I imagine. If you do so only under race cirumstances the rod bolts should be good to go with supporting heads/cam and a good tune.

You only need to spin the engine as high as your heads/cam can support. Higher revs will shorten an engine's life span quickly no matter what the buildup.

I did the Katech bolts. They are very nice and very close to the same weight as the stockers.

you're car already has the good GM rod bolts.

and if you dont want anything to break, dont race.

Aren't the arp's 3 grams heavier then stock? That's 6 grams more rotating mass on the big end journal.
