I had no idea Eagles, Wisecos, and ACLs were horrendously expensive to install.
Seriously, a lot of people give you a list of stupid parts "you have to buy" but all you really need to do is replace stock rods, make sure you have good oil pressure and you aren't exceeding valvetrain capabilities, and hold the gas pedal to the floor.
:P

im only going to be reving to 8000 or 8500, just because its suppost to be a safe rpm range for stock B20 Vtecs, but ill have a built bottom end so i shouldnt have any worries. 8500 rpms and 5 psi should be good enough for me

Skip the shot peen, Honduh rods are factory forgings; they are strong from internal grain flow, where cast carries a lot of it's strength in it's skin and those are the rods that gain noticeable strength from shot peening.
I'd worry about bores shortly after I worried about rod big ends, since they need sized for the new fasteners.
