c.a.t. con rods?

anybody know anything about C.A.T. engine parts? Found a set of new H beam con rods for 460 on e-bay for $254 sounds to good to be true.

I heard someone one time come up with a thought on cat products and that is if it moves don't use it. Basically CAT products are not exactly known for being high quality, you get what you pay for and although I don't hve verification of it Ihave heard and from what I have seen C.A.T. uses left over or stuff that didn't pass quality inspections of other companies
Go with Eagle or scat it's worth the little extra money

if your looking to build 600 hp then forget the SIR rods and just buy a set of eagle or scat Hbeams and you will be much better off trust me.

Never bothered myself as they are only marginally better then stock (assuming your talking the SIRs) But yeah seen several guys that have broken them a little over 6000-6500rpm which is a little low on the rpm scale of where your going to need to be twisting a 460 to be pushing 600hp
