I’d probably look to supercharge as well, so the lower compression due to deeper reliefs would be ideal for me.
(i.e. forged with deap reliefs or dish for about 9/1 compression and more clearance for a better cam…30 degrees phase limiting perhaps?)

Thanks, for your reply's guys.

Yes, I plan on turbocharging the motor very soon. I have always used the golden rule "Over 500HP needs to be forged" so it will get forged. I'm also looking into different cams something boost friendly with more lift. Other mods will be new stall 3600 and custom exhaust.

Is it really $5xx for one rod on GMpartsdirect.com? Or is that for the set of 8?

My money is on that price being per rod since they're titanium...

[ZZcamaro]

Yeah I will just go with good old fashioned forged Lunati or Manley
