Piston Rod combos
Rebuilding motor wondering what piston rod combos you guys are using. My plans for the motor are afr 205s fast big mouth intake 150-200 shot nitrous stock crank forged pistons and I beam rods. I am curious as to I beam rods or stock rods. I am not opposed to H beams but considering im looking for 450 hp without nitrous and rod weight I wouldnt need anything too serious but with the occasional NOS burst everynow and then. I guess my question is would stock rods hold up with forged pistons in my application and if not what piston rod combos are you all using. I have a budget of around 700 for these. Thanks

^^Agreed. You can get a set of Weisco pistons @ Speed Inc. for right under $600 then add rings. The Diamonds are even more expensive. Then for rods your lookin at probably another $500 at least. So your budget isn't gonna get you there unless you really score in the for sale section, but even then it's a slim chance.
