Default is getting rods worth the money?

I am thinking about getting rods for my motor. I wil have pretty high comp. pistons and I have upgraded almost everything else. I am just going n/a. no nitrous or anything. Do you think it would be worth it?

This is the B16A with the LS crank right? I would get some "bargain" forged rods like Eagle or Crower Econobillet just to be on the safe side. You can usually pick up a set for less than $400.

You might want to also do some grinding (radius curves) at the bottom of each cylinder to ensure the rods will not touch the bottom of the cylinders during high revs. Just a suggestion.

I've never heard of anyone having to notch the block to fit aftermarket rods in a B series. It's a pretty common practice for D series blocks though. You should doublecheck your clearances, of course.
