Default C.A.T. Power Engine Parts?

Anyone familiar with C.A.T. PEP? They seem to have rods at a decent price, but I can't really find much info on them.

CAT PEP

Were it me, I'd go with something I was alittle more familiar with... or that I could find information about or others' experience with.

Here's the link for the Pacific Performance Racing parts being mentioned...
