Rods
I'm piecing a motor together and picked up a set of these forged rods

They seemed to be a premium GM offering. Anyone use these before ?
Comments ? They look tougher than the PM rods and come with ARP capscrews.

They look pretty stout....sounds like they're on the heavy side.....H-beams run around 700 grams.....didnt find them in an '07 GMPP catalog ....they do look good though , should be able to handle some serious power.....

Thanks alot. They wrote 739 grams average and you provided a data point of 700g for H-beams, and I wasn't aware of that so I have a reference point now. I like the beams on the caps versus the stock PM rods, even though PM is pretty tough stuff.
