Never said I know it all. Simply relaying my experience. Again, read my signature, please. Tons of people have used stock rods successfully through many DECADES at over 7500 RPM a lot. They will just hold up if prepared right. Sometimes, it's just personal preference. I'm not sure I'd ever use a new connecting rod, as "for me" I can approach reconditioning stock rods more affordable, since I can do it in stages, rather than bite off the whole purchase price at once.
