what are decent rods and pistons to use building a boosted 370 stock crank motor. dont want to spend a ton but want something better than stock. i see alot use compstar but dont know how good they are and also to see what cc dish pistons would be good with stock 317 heads

Compstar rods and wiseco -11cc pistons here. Should be good for like 9.2 scr with your heads assuming they are not milled much.

Its a baby cam I reused from my 346, just 224/ 232 .581/.595 114+2... I'd like to upgrade to the EPP (brutespeed now) cam at some point. I think thatd be more on par for my current 370.

i have weiseco -11cc pistons and eagle h-beams with L19 bolts. i have stock 317 heads and my comp is 9:1. i dynod 753whp on 16psi with BW ST80. seems to be working for me. if i were to do it again i would have done 9.5:1 comp. Callies was my prefered rod but $$ was an issue.
