Thank you. By the way, which is better...the I-beam or the
H-beam rod? I'll be boosting between 12-15 PSI ;).

it would take you a year and a day with a tiny ass dremel. use a die grinder or something like that. And you could probably run stock internals at 15psi, so the rods are up to you

for 15 psi, just run stock internals, they'll last for a while, in the mean time save the money until you need them, don't fix it if it ain't broke ;)

i bet it would last quite a while with good tuning. i ran 13psi for months on a shitty smc500 and 450s. Im not saying its the smartest thing to do, but i think it would work

ummmmm, ok, maybe not a d15. a z6 will handle it for a while with good tuning.

The rings in cylinder number one broke last week Saturday when I was on a dyno.
