Dude hold your horses, it was only 15 minutes between posts. Ross pistons are good, that's a decent price.

Ross makes some good stuff. I spoke with Mr. Ross at the PRI show in Dec and looked at some of the 4 valve stuff and it is pretty nice. The price you got is competetive with the SRP forged pistons without rings. Racer net price on those Ross pistons is $484 with rings. Don't forget you'll need to spring about a c-note for the rings if they are not included.

If you run aftermarket pistons, you need aftermarket rods.

Eagle rods are pretty affordable. They're usually about $330 a set. If you want the "best", you'll be looking to spend about twice that.

Search for Eagle on the for sale pages for the rods.
