    true the compression will be lower than 9:1 yet you should have no problem making power. i ran my vitara h-beam set up with stock sleeves and a fully built head and it dynoed at 369whp and 299tq. on 93octane. You are still able to make descent number.

    If you are going to just build the bottom you should have no problem hitting 250whp and it being "reliable" as long as you have a good tune, yet if you want more hp the cam would be the next thing you need to look at, and most cams require upgrades to the springs and valves. also fueling would become another issue so plan for the future and not the now. It could save you a couple hundred bucks in the long haul.

    Yea but if you know that the FJ rods will be better then the eagles, why would you run them? They are around the same if not cheaper then the eagles. The numbers you made with your fully built head are very close to what i made on my stock head, most likely because i had higher compression then you. oh yea and my bore was bigger too, lol......

    4.Production of rods take 5 weeks + 2 additional weeks for shipping
    to us,receiving and accounting for inventory and then ship out
    to customer.


    that's why i used the eagle and you would also have to wait for a "batch" (a min. of 10 orders)- no telling how long it would take for them to fill their order requirements. (i would say a another 2-3 weeks, my buddy had to wait almost a month plus the additional 7weeks to get it. If you ask me I say bump that, that's alot of down time for me to go without blowing off ..... .......haha and the bigger bore:boobies:...lol the truth is coming out.
