Unfortunately, there are only two NHRA accepted rods, an Eagle H beam (heavy, 35 grams over minimum, and relatively expensive) and a Manley (I have had bad results dealing with the company, but their rod is light, 56 grams under the minimum, and they seem to hold up well, I do not know what they cost). I had never thought about it, but Eagle does not offer a 5,565" SBC rod in their SIR line.

I do not like stock 400 rods at all, they are fairly prone to breaking or at least getting out of round on the big end.
