How much do you really need the rods? Spend that money on a stand alone. You really wouldnt need rods until you pass 15 psi or so as long as your fuel management are good. Do the most important things first.

Wow... what a coincidence... i just bought those rods... to compliment the SRP slugs....i said i was going to be ghetto and not upgrade the internals... but i now have 2 fried engines.... 1 with a burnt headgasket... and the other one has some nice extra crispy piston rings....

I was considering having the block sleeved... but that might be a bit overkill..., so ill just invest the money into the head instead... And its true about the fuel management ... (up to a certain degree) but there comes a time when the stock components fail not due to improper tuning... they just cant handle the physical stress that their beeing put through... try running 15+ psi on stock internals everyday..... sure you might hit it once or twice and **** your pants.... but do you think you can pull that ---- off everyday... ...... no.... thought so...

looks like i'll be packing my own lunch for work from now on... need every penny i can get...

What was your management when you blew those engines?

450cc's An SAFC, never adjusted the timing oh yeah i was pushing about 11 psi on it. 12 in some occasions... that might have had something to do with it..
