Default Scat Ibeam with spray?

Finally got my engine to the builder yesterday and he suggested for my build going with Scat light weight Ibeam rods for my set up as I was only doing 150 shot and he thinks hbeams are over kill and would rather me have the weight savings. Its a 383 stroker about 11-11.5 CR and 150 shot of nitrous. Anyone have experience with scat ibeams and nitrous?

Stock pm rods can handle 150 shot so I would assume these I beams can handle at least that.
we had a forged 6.0 with Lunati Pro Mod Rods which were also I beams and it took over a 300 shot with no issues.

They're awesome rods assuming you're talking about the procomp 4340 ones with the 7/16" bolts. Search around on yellowbullet and speed-talk and you'll find stories of people spinning SBC's over 8k+ making more power than you without issues. You'll be fine.
