The poll asks: "which connecting rod is the strongest", not "what do you think is the strongest". Until scientific testing is done and published with proof, this is another one of those polls that this place is famous for, kinda like "will a XXX stroke crank fit in XXX block". It'll fit or it won't, that should have been a direct thread instead of a poll - what's the use in using a poll for that kind of question???
"What's your favorite 6.125" connecting rod?"
"What 6.125" rod do you use and why?"

Well which is the lightest that will hold up to a N/A 347 with about 525-550 flywheel hp? I am looking at Scat I beams and Eagle I beams with Mahle pistons. This will be a 11.8-12.2/ 1 motor.

Down the road It may see up to a 150 shot but more then likely not.

Agreed. A better question would be "which rod do you think has the best strength to weight ratio". "Strongest" is a misleading term as any rod can be made 'strong', but if it is made from a substandard material, it would be extremely heavy. Rod weight and durability are relative to the application.

Aint Skeered, Scat makes a good I-beam, they call it their "Pro Comp" (no relation to the junk Chinese knock-off cylinder heads, it's just Scat's name for the rod). It has a very beefy big end, reminds me a lot of Lunati. They're capscrew and the ones I've used on conventional small block strokers didn't require any clearancing of the block or rods. They're less than $300 a set, too!
