yep. this is a good time to get some headstuds as well, and do things like timing belt/water/oil pump, thermostat, any other little things like that.

Nonsense, go for 350-400 whp. Engine life will be approx two oil changes, and with all that heat cooking the oil they won't be the every 3000 mile variety. You'll also need racegas or water injection at that point to cool things off.
Wanting your engine to last is irrelevant when you can make anybody sitting in your passenger's seat gibber in terror and try to cram themselves into the floorboard! Think about it.

At those power levels, I'd tear the suspension out from under the car before two oil changes... that is if the transmission didn't fall out from the defective ED chassis transmission mounts tear off from the frame rail in a real power situation. Maybe you picked one of the easier, roomier chassis, though

Re: Eagle rods and Je pistons in a B18b
I'm installing the exact same pistons and rods in my B18A1,but my pistons are a 10.1 cr so I'll have to get it tuned to run some higher boost safely. But I'm gonna be running two rhb5's and I want to run 15psi but thats gonna be pushing the limits of these lil snails. It's gonna run me basically 100 for all new bearings(rod,thrust) major gaskets, timing belt. I've got connections otherwise it'd be like double that.
