I personaly would skip the pro-comps, and run the Scat premiumn pro 4340 i-beams, with the 7/16 cap screws, or the 4340 I-beams with the 3/8 cap screws, if you want to save $50. Personaly, for the money, for what your doing, the pro-i scat I beam, is a good piece. Scat does it right, and is a legit rod and crank place, Pro-comp, is a big parts distributor, that steals peoples designs, has it made in china, and sells it cheap. They are at the top of the R&D chain. RIP off and DUPLICATE. If you want to reward a company for doing that, then buy their rods. If you want to buy a decent properly finished part, that has proven reliability, then buy the scat.
Oh, that paint, whether its pink for gm, or purple for mopar, is worth at least 20hp. I have tried to get the exact color, so I could put pink or a purple dab of paint on certain parts of engines I build, and, it seems they are very picky to the exact color, because, I have yet to make that 20hp from the paint dab. Mopar has it down though, with the "purple shaft" cams. 20+ years of intense marketing, for the "purple shaft" HP cams. What makes it a purple shaft? The small dabs of purple paint, between the lobes, lol. Sorta funny really when you think about it
