Don't forget the factory CP cars were 150 HP in stock form.

I've had some lengthy discussions with JK Jackson about this and he was, 
adamant that early rods are the better choice.

I believe the reason that the early rods are better is that they don't 
start out with a huge stress riser drilled into the rod at the spot where 
the stresses all converge.

But I've been wrong before.
