Not to take this too far OT, but I agree with honeybadgerRy on this one. There's plenty of noobs on here who can't distinguish sarcasm like this for real advice. Some are so inexperienced, they get confused by what are serious comments and what is pure, unadulterated BS.

2 things. One, if theyre as inexperienced enough to try an actually buys a gallod rod, i dont think they should be doing anything that involves them getting new rods.
2nd, i understand that we all started this hobby pretty clueless, and if a noob was actually thinking of getting a gallod rods, im sure a google search will turn up that no such thing exists.

All these replies ASSUME plenty of things, but fails to be realistic in total. First, OP wants to run 500 HP "safely", and that is more of a pipe dream with high compression and FI. Particularly because he's trying to do it in stages. Tuning in that range will take multiple pulls from an expert tuner and using nothing but specialized race fuel. While it may be possible to do this (or use E85), this calls upon a high degree of funding, knowledge and expertise on the part of the owner. Based upon what's been posted here, those three conditions seem very doubtful.
Having built high compression race engines for Nissan GT cars, I will only say that it's been my experience that building towards a particular application leads to a better outcome. I stand by my suggestion that he'd be better off (and "safer") building his VQ for FI or high compression, but not both. He'll spend less, have fewer headaches and have more durability in the real world.

So from my understanding is to go with Eagle rods and the Wiseco piston set at 8.8:1 compression with L19 head studs and main studs and hks headgaskets, then tune and then go FI 3 months later?

yeah wiseco/eagle for 500whp is a good combo at 8:8:1.
you can go with regular nissan oem headgaskets and you dont need L19 arp hardware. just get the standard ARP head bolts for the heads and use the nissan OEM main stud bolts for the crankshaft for 500whp.
generally L19 arp bolts is used for serious power.....like 800hp+ stupid fast power.....

I have done a couple engines and talked to a lot of shops over my 10-12 yrs with this car. HKS is the gasket of choice
for 500whp.
