Best Rod and Main Barrings

I'm building a 2.3 stroker engine. What kind of rod barrings and main barrings are the best to hold 500 to 800 hp?

I just got Manley turbo tuff rods and ACL racing bearings, think they suppose to be one of the best. It should hold that kind of power with no problems.

Federal Moguls have been around for a long time, they just aren't popular in the 4G63 world. I use clevite in my engine but ACL, hell even OEM are all great bearings.

It's kind of mixed. Yeah, some of their things are really good like their rods but something like their cams, IDK. I heard you have to degree them to get them working correctly.

It really depends on what you get for rods or whatnot. I have Manley Turbo Tuffs and it tells you what you should use on the box with part number.
