They have a pretty good rep for a lower-cost forged rod. I have read from a couple of builders that say they are exactly (as in the same factory) as a couple of the major brands "entry level" rods.

they are the same as eagle, probe, and a few other no name brands. they are an overseas forged rod that seems to hold alot of power. as long as they are the h beam rods they will hold the power...700+hp. I have done a lot of research on the subject and this is what I have came up with. scat does finish machine their rods better than the other brands though. pm me if you need more info on what I found.
