I'd like to hear what you all have experienced or read about the best connecting rods. Which rods would you buy for a daily driven high HP car if money were no object?

For instance I was using Eagle rods in my G64c 2.4liter 4-banger. These, from what I have been told are the least expensive good rod. I put about 135HP through each rod on the dyno (On a V8 that would equate to a 1080HP engine). It's not the 240HP+ that Darryl Hudson put's through his rods, but my cars are meant to be street driven many more miles than a drag race only car. Marko was apparently using Carillo rods in his 1500HP street driven Supra which equates to 250+HP per rod.

So what do you think? Since I am talking about a street driven car I don't think that aluminum rods should be considered unless there is something about them I don't know.

Eagle
Manley
Carillo
Any others?

I have Eagle's in my motor now, but I'll be investing in eather a set of Crower rods or Corrella's. I recomend them both highly.
