I wouldn't get MMR's Billet pieces.. It's waaay overkill. A nice Billet I beam rod like, Manley, Carrilo, or Oliver has been tested to beyond 1500rwhp and held up just fine.. As for pistons my personal choice is Diamond.. You can find my build thread.. Pretty much the piston and rod combo is what I'd recommend for you..
Diamond here as well.
Depending on power levels, a Manley H beam rod with ARP 2000 bolts will be just fine.
I agree with these guys.
ARP 2000 rod bolts in the factory Manley rod is a very stout unit.
Accidental over revs is usually what will kill a rod. RPM more so than power level, yet power level is how rods are commonly selected.
The usual failure mode is when pulling the piston down from top dead center at very high RPM, that's where the better bolts can help.

Guy is selling some Oliver parts in the market section .
I plan on a 5.0 stroker an I plan on spraying to.. Still recommend same stuff?
if this car is ment to be drivin on the street, do not get an aluminum rod. i dont care what anyone says, and aluminum rod motor is a drag race only motor!!!! I.E. running less then a couple hours a year.
