well honestly man, it comes down to what you want and if you want to spend the money on. if you're gonna stick with the hack, you definitely don't need the rods! the pistons will be nice and some extra insurance, the rods will really be overkill and a waste of money. however, if you plan on upping your management to boost more sometime (obviously not at the same time you just dropped a grip on some pistons and rods :P), then yeah, go ahead and use them. as far as management, your only real options are, hondata, smt6, or getting an obd2 to 1 harness and an obd1 ecu, then you would be able to socket it and run uberdata (turboedit is for obd0 :P). i'm gonna be getting the smt6 here shortly, i looked into it and it's really the best option for obd2 right now if you're on a budget, it only cost 290 (90 dollars more than a used afc), and it controls everything! the software for it is set up just like any rom editor. there is an unofficial group buy for them that tuner toys is having, i already signed up for two of

best bet would be to do a obd2-obd1 conversion and use hondata modified p28.

yeah, that's what the 0bd2 to obd1 conversion harness is for, it allows you to run an obd1 ecu. but, then what? you pay for the conversion harness, an ecu, and hondata, that's a lot of money. or you pay for the harness, ecu, chip burner, chip burner, ecu socket, chips, *to use with uberdata* that's still more money than the smt6 i don't know, that's just my .02, i'm sold on the smt6, i downloaded the software and manuals for it already, and like i said earlier, it think it's the best thing of obd2 tuning right now for the money.......
