Yeahhh....sortof budget build. Not made for spray, or anything like that. I said to myself, if i put forged rods in a motor, then its gonna be something for either a turbo or nitrous. And this is going to be neither, just a Daily driver with some bite to it. Therefore, oem rods should be strong enough.
as far as the pistons, i was going to get probably P30's (b16 pistons?) It would equal probably more like an 11.5:1 CR though, right?
