Yes those rods are supposed to be good. Those are the ones that Shawn (Valvegod) at SMC sells with the stroker kit he puts together.

JRMotorsports is a great place, they have tons of used NASCAR stuff, not to mention they are only about 5 minutes from me. Great guys, very helpful. Oh yeah, and their used rods are almost exclusively Carrillo, not the Chinese Eagles. The rods they have are 6.0, 6.125 and 6.2, so a call to Diamond Pistons would probably be in order as well. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I just bought the Armstrong Racing LS1 dry sump pan and I am going to get all of the rest of the system there at about 50 cents on the dollar. They have Barnes pumps for $500, braided Kevlar lines, every fitting under the sun, so on so forth.

If anyone wants me to go physically look at anything they are considering, drop me a line at derekbkisler@galesburg.net and I'll go check it out.
