Walt,

The Maxpeeding rods are a good budget option as you already know....but as
they are an off the shelf "bolt in" replacement for a stock rod as far as
the critical dimensions, you are somewhat limited to what you can do with
piston design when you use them.

On the other hand, if you are spending the extra budget on the more
expensive rods, (My experiences are with Pauter), it opens your world up to
design them together with a new set of pistons to bring things a bit more
up to date.
