Hey I just had a quick question, seeing that the stock 1j rods are forged and are good for like what 800 HP? Would aftermarket rods such as the $1600 greddy ones make much of a difference.

Would all depend on the type of running the car was going to see....

While stock may be fine for the occasional pull to redline or a night at the drag strip I wouldn't be confident to use them in an endurance race on a track with long straights and fast corners.
