ARP rod bolts, forged connecting rods, forged pistons, balanced rotating assembly, girdle, etc.

Does anyone know where I can get the balanced rotating assembly done in Georgia?

you need to tell us what motor you have and what you plan on doing (turbo or NA) first.

If you need more then that then look into ductile iron sleeves from either Golden Eagle or darton. Let us know what your goals are and we can help you get the right rods, pistons, and sleeves (if needed).

I want to go NA on b18a block, and I want to do an ls/vtec conversion. I'd like to be in 12-13 1/4 mile range but keep it daily driver, long lasting and reliable. Will I need a harmonic dampner if I do those mods?

How about B20VTEC instead of LS/VTEC. For sure B20VTEC will give you more torque than LS/VTEC.
