Help Needed Choosing Rotating Assembly

What do you guys think about the Scat forged rotating assembly in the Jegs magazine?? Seems like a decent price for forged components ($1566.99). I don't know what brand of pistons they use, does Scat make pistons?? I would like to be able to spray with a 125 or 150 shot, I'm sending my block to the machine shop very soon to be cleaned, splayed and the whole nine yards. I just wanted to get some opinions on this rotating assembly and see if anybody had some other ideas. Also what would be the better choice 6" rods or 5.7" rods?? What are the pros and cons of the two??

I'm going with Llyod Elliot for my heads, cam and intake. Hoping for around 430 to the wheels plus the spray, so nothing real big, just want a powerful street car. I rarely get to go to the track so I'm not going to beat up on it too bad..lol.

I used a Scat Forged assembly...chosen by my engine builder....and Ai 200cc head/cam combo with solid roller set up. I am at 451 RWHP and we haven't got the car tuned correctly and I have an intake and exhaust restriction I plan on getting rid of sometime soon.

Pistons....we used JE gas ported shelf pistons.....

FWIW: gas ports are not usually used on street motors as the ports quickly become blocked with deposits and non-functional.
