Default Need Rods for 500+ hp boosted 2V. Help!

I need some good quality rods to handle 500+rwhp on a 2V s/c'd engine producing about 10-11 lbs of boost. I just disintregrated one on the first run of the season. Not a piece left bigger than a match stick. I-rods? H-rods? Brand? Alloy? Money IS an object, so I don't want to buy 1300 hp rods since I don't need them, but I don't want to buy junk. Any suggestions on Who and what?? Thanks. (If you've got a deal for me, let me know.......dished pistons too)

i say you make some rods.. its not go hard... just take a piece of metal.. cut it to length, and drill holes in it.. wala, rods. they are probably stronger than stock and much much cheaper.
