GMPP Powdered or eagle Rods

Which ones are stronger? They are about the same price.

Eagle sir5140 I beam $260 or the GM performance powdered metal rods $240.

This engine will see a lot of 50HP N2O shots.

Go for a set of H beams. I picked up a set of Lunati Pro Mod Rods new for 350 on ebay a few months back. The extra 150 bucks is worth it. + Nowadays they dont come with ARP bolts. Eagle used too but now its an additional premium
