polished rods

they worth the trouble on a mid 10sec motor? have had 3 motors that ran 10's and none were built with polished or shot peened rods.

They cut down on windage, reduce rotating mass and prevent overall problems. If you're doing it yourself it's a good thing.

X2. It has been said you want to get rid of the casting line along the side of the rods to alleviate a place for it to fail. I have done it on a lot of motors in the past, and did it on this last Buick build.
