Default b16 connecting rod ???

Hey i've searched all over and i can't find this anywhere.. well my question is that I want to buy a set of 4340 Steel Billet Connecting Rods for a b16a1 will i have to modify any thing as far as my block, or are they just stock replacements that are a ---- load stronger. i'm also planning on boring .20 oversize i don't think that makes a difference though. Any help would be great thanks.

What's your HP goal?
Chances are a set of Tuner Toys rods would meet your goal and be cheaper than your 4340 Billet Bling Blang Hype ----.

And yes, you'll have to notch the block.

What do I need to know about TunerToys H-Beam connecting rods?

Tuner Toys connecting rods...
Are torqued to 37Ft/Lbs
Require notching most blocks. (a standard procedure).
May need machining/honing of the pin end to match the pistons used. (again standard)
Can support up to 500Hp with the included ARP8740 Bolts
Can support up to 7000RPM with the included ARP8740 Bolts
Should be matched to your engine, using the factory manual procedures.
The above includes bearing selection.
Are sold for off road use only.
Tuner Toys rods are to be used for floating pin applications only!

I'm sure that disclaimer is just to cover their asses. They're not gonna fly apart at 7001 RPM.

The reason I asked was I'm still tossing around the idea of just building my b16 with the TT rods, but even 7500 is a low rpm number...I was thinking more along the lines of 9500rpm.

get your whole buttom end balnced and then do a rotating assembly balance and id say 9500 is not a prob
