You should be fine, see I'm planning for around 280+ whp, so I need to be more carefull, stock rods will handle alot, but I read the horror stories on HT about the ringlands giving out, so I faced the fact that stock honda pistons suck for boost therefore I might as well do it right the first time, this is my only engine so I dont want it to blow up.

 

I know what you mean man. That's why Im gonna keep the boost down real low. My motor only has around 55k on it though so it's not to worn. And I only take it to 7500 RPM when driving hard. That's not TO bad since it doesn't even redline til 8200. But anyway, got any suggestions for my set up or does it sound pretty good for something real simple and fun?
