440 build 500+ hp build

Good idea.
I bought some speed master rods too, however mine are nearly perfect. They're honed as close to perfect as can be and mag'd just fine.
I however changed my build to go another step up on power and choose Molnar power adder rods.
But, I will be using the speed master rods in something street friendly probably another 470
Yes measurements were fine, oiling holes on small end needed de burr and machining on big end sides was not as expected. Also they are rough in hand and surfaces that you’d expect flat are not that great. Thing is that they were 299$ with 8470 arp bolts and comparing to LY rods they are very nice. I had bad luck I guess.
