Whichever is lighter
We actually run a lot of factory 7/16 rods in big blocks 7500RPMs and under. A factory LS6 or LS7 is good to 7500RPMs, and 700HP conservitivly.
Whichever you choose, you won't need mega $$$ kryptonite strength at 7000RPMs, and 427s love to rev, lighter rotating assemblies will let it rev faster, so make it light and let it rev.
