I'm gonna get jdm side molidings after I finish the motor... And you know what... stock rods and bolts, just resized and renotched for gsr bearings... fully balanced bottom end... Don't need to rev this motor out to make power.... 8500 is fine with stock rods and bolts... any rod bolt will go if the rods are "out of wound" also causing other shit to go... balancing is key or else you get people giving ls/vtec a bad name... an out of balance motor can throw all your money out the door b4 a stock LS rod and bolt will...that's for sure...

Sk2 stg1 cams and VAFC and i'll be fine... then get back to the little stuff
