Does anyone make an H beam rod for pressed pins?
I'm looking everywhere, and i can't find an H beam rod that will work with a pressed pin. I see tons of I beam rods, summit makes a set, and so does Lunati, but i'm gonna be spraying a rather large shot of nitrous through this thing (200ish shot, so about 600fwhp), and i'm not wanting to skimp out on rods. I already have the TRW forged pistons sitting here.

H-beam = $$$$ high-perf
Pressed pin = stock
There's a mismatch in there somewhere.
I doubt you'll find Z-rated mud tires, heads with pressed studs and 1.55" spring pockets, etc.
What are you really trying to do?

Like RB said,
Do you really need h-beam rods? Perhaps you are overbuilding you shortblock.
I believe a set of high quality I-beams in 4340 steel will be more than adequate. Those Lunati street race rods you mentioned are some serious pieces.
By going with I-beams, you can keep your TRW pistons. Otherwise if you're bent on H-beam, you'll have to ditch your pistons.

If the ibeam rods will be ok with 600 hp on nitrous then thats fine. i'm not bent on any rod over another, i'm just told that the H beams are the only way to go.
