Buying rods - advice on these which I assume are scat/tuned etc
Buying these rods to start my build. I'm 99% sure they are the standard Scat/Tuned etc rod that has been floating around for years. Also thought this was the best price I'd seen for new.

They've arrived. I see that they have ARP 2000 bolts and look like the ones I've seen around here with other names but other than that I cannot say. I am not a machinist or have measured them exactly or have another "brand" to compare to. The machining looks great but I've only put together modern motocross and ATV engines so don't put much weight into my opinions.
They smell funny.....

Are there any "bad" rods left on the market? It does not seem so (400bhp and less).
Rods are simple enough construction so anyone can make it work.
If you want to maximize the weight reduction for your power level, you are on your own, as always.
Pistons, valves, springs and retainers are not that simple...
