Common Rail build-up rod questions

next question:

Should I stay with the Mexicans or find some USA rods?
Came out of an 01' HO motor.
 
running a much larger, slower spooling turbo (boost comes on later) will help you rods. The later and smooth-er the boost comes on, the less stress there is on rods. When running a smaller turbo it creates boost very quickly and puts a great deal of stress on the rods all at one time.... just my 2cents in making a high hp engine survive
 
hell, if I was gonna build a 1000+hp cummins I would use a progressive boost controller and nitrous controller
FYI I've seen a daily driven 1.5l honda (d15) civic with a completly stock bottom end run a 300hp nitrous system for two years...... they used a 3 or 4 (I cant remember) stage nitrous system
