I havn,t heard any bad things about Buick rods, most all rods can be improved with smoothing and shot blasting the beams. Balancing, and with a mild boost there shouldnt be any worry. when you get into competition lakes and drag racing then you have much more to be aware of. for the street a very mild cam, carb,compression,manifolds, and improved ignition, will give very satisfying performance.
