Add some $ for the 8740 or 2000 rod bolts. Most of the h-beam connecting rods are forged in China and finished in the USA. The metal quality is good. What will set them apart is machining. I've thought about doing SGI before. I think the modmax ace rods are what I will go with in my next motor.

My current motor has h beams with arp 2000 rod bolts. I bought them used and they were advertised as eagle. The markings on them are the same as modmax has on theirs. Those same markings are on alot of the generic h beams. I had the machine shop check them out for roundness and size. Everything checked out fine.

It's all a gamble unless you buy Manley IMO. I used them for my first build and they are a high quality product.

Really? Most folks would have been able to answer that question on their own. So. I will answer it for you...

Yes, it probably is too good to be true. You could wait until some others give them a whirl and see when they break.
