Rod bolt upgrade?

[pb_paulie_b]

I've got my all forged stroker assembly [Eagle] it is said it's good for 800+ hp and more with a rod bolt upgrade. I'm eventually going to take it up to around 750 and 7000 rpms. Should I do this upgrade with ARP bolts or would I be throwing away my money?

I would use a set of ARP 2000 fasteners, I work for manley in the connecting rod department, that's what we use on rods that are rated for 800+ horsepower

Well, you have to make up your mind now what your limits will be with the engine. If 7000rpm and 750 hp is it, and you're sure about that. I think you'll be fine without the upgrade. If you're unsure, then spend the money and have them done so you won't be pulling everything out and apart later.
