What are some good forged 6" rods out there? How much do they cost and where to find them? Thanks

 

Not to sound like an *** but you can find a lot on the 'search'...but to answer your question correctly, we need to know a lot more about your plans than just who makes a good rod. Depends on what you're doing with it. What might be perfect for one app might suck for another, you know what I'm saying.

The Oliver billets are decent, if you've got $1,400-1,800 to spare.

Yes those are veeeery nice

Personnally I have used the Eagle "I" and Scat "I" 6 inch and the Eagle "H" beam six inch. I never went over 400 and some change RWHP with any except for one engine (had the Scat 6 inch "I" in them) It was a 355 with a nice healthy cam and a set of well ported heads, without nitrous it hovered around the 380 RWHP range and we used a 175 shot on it, I still have those rods running in the same motor , we freshened it up just recently and stuck it in another car with a nitrous specific cam. I first built the motor in 95.

But to get really serious you'll have to ask the guys that get real serious around here.

 

The Oliver rods are sweet indeed. I used the best I could find for my budget (Scat 6" 4340 h-beams), which probably still exceed my application.

 

FWIW I went with Scat 4340 Forged I-Beams in my 383.

 

Northern auto parts sells the Scat rods very cheaply.

will those scat rods be enough for a 355, gm847, big heads, and nitrous?

 

Yeah scat says they are good to 600 hp.
