Cant seem to get a direct answer does anyone know what the HP rating for oliver Standard Light I beam rods are and not the speedway versions? Oliver's told me 1000hp is that right i know they should know but seems kinda low!

I would have thought a billet rod like this would have been rated better!

why would you not think the guys that make the rods know?
what number do you want to hear? try more websites?

I think they are being conservative like Callies to cover their back sides thats all! I have read many websites that used those rods with 14-1600whp builds no problems and i read the same about compstar and eagle H beam rods!

I would be more concerned about rpm than hp rating.

Look at a stock rod for example. People on here have proved time and time again that the stock rod can handle 6-7-800 hp and look at the rpm they were turning 65-6800 rpms, mostly turbo setups.

Take a stock rod and start turning some rpm with it and watch how fast it fails. Those entry level Eagle and Scat rods fail right behind those stockers.

IMO, You can't go wrong with a Callies, Carillo, or Oliver rod with a good rod bolt, and I can't express the notion enough of getting a good rod bolt. It helps even a stock rod live longer so it helps an aftermarket one by leaps and bounds.
