Default rods good to 1000whp?

i'm looking to buy rods for my ls motor for the camaro. i was thinking callies, but what have other guys used at this power and kept them together? i'm on a budget ($700-800), but i do believe in getting what you paid for...so i'll fork out some extra cash if need be...so whatcha using? this would be in an LQ9 block with a stock crank

Check out the Howards rods that W2W carries will handle that and I think they were @ $750 after making some phone calls. Good luck.

The Compstar rods have been pushed to that level.
Give TSP a call.

We carry the Callies Compstar, and the K1 Technologies/ Carrillo Line either of those would be plenty for your application. Give me a call or shoot me an email/pm and I can get some pricing. Also if you still need pistons, rings, bearings..etc. I can get you setup with all of that as well.

The Howards rod will exceed your needs, and they are $750 set for 6.125 on center LS rods. Give me a call if you need them.
