I did not realize that the rods were forged too. is it a 4130 forgeing or what?

Also why can stock engines only take 150 shot of nitrous or so? My 351W with stock rods we were going to spray a 250 shot to it... but now its got forged in there and I wont think twice witha forged flat top, forged H beam, and stock crank with a 300 shot...
