I wouldn't hold my breath waitning to "feel" a performance difference...but from a strength/reliability stand-point, you can't go wrong with this. The longer rods are easier on the cylinder walls, bearings and even wrist pins. Nothing wrong with the 5.7s, but if you can get a "deal" that won't cost much more than rebuilding the stockers, why not?
