Here's a pic of those Eagle 5140 rods.

They're cheaper from Jegs. But I understand that lots of guys are willing to pay more to support shops who do mostly Pontiac engines.

Again, the H-beam rods weigh only 760g, vs the 870g weight of the 5140 rods. This will make your rotating assembly lighter. And the H-beams are said to be much stronger.
