Rebuilding engine and want to hear your opinion on rods.

Just a suggestion from someone who recently rebuilt their own engine.  I scoured online for the cheapest prices.  Amazon, rock auto, thezstore etc.  I pieced together a great engine.  I then found out some well known Datsun builders sell a very nice kit for a good price.   Try Rebello and see if he will sell you something. Pistons, rods, bearings gaskets etc.   Sounds like he sells these cheaper then what I could piece together, not to mention a tried and true setup and even included forged pistons and new rods. 

If I were doing it again, I'd go that route.  But I did learns lots!

The car actually made more torque, probably over 550ft-lbs @ wheels.  The dyno graph below was running 28psi balls rich with no nitrous.  At the track I would run ~20psi and spray 125shot.  I ran it like this for many years with no issues, but you need to make sure the car is not detonating or it could be disastrous.
