if im not mistaken the I-beam rods are right for my setup considering for lots of boost ,you want as lightweight as possible roating mass thats the reason for the smaller journal crank from what i understand ,sponsers can chime in at anytime
For 25psi, you'll definitely want some nice rods. Not $300-400 Eagle's/Scat. Thats a LOT of boost. Seems like you have a nice crank picked out. I would go with a 6 bolt style head/block at that level.. $$$
I would check with HKE, VA Speed or some of the other places here that build high end motors after the Holiday weekend.

oh no doubt at all. i'm not sayin it won't work, i'm sayin the aluminum block won't last as long as iron, iron is stronger than aluminum . . . not many people want to rebuild the same thing twice because of a poor choice
A lot of good points being made, hope you'll consider them. 25# is a LOT of boost... With that much boost, you won't be turning too many RPM's. As KCS said, build for strength! Forget the 2" journals, bigger is better in your case. If you're determined to stay with 4 bolt heads, at least upgrade to 1/2" studs. I run 23# on my GN powered S-10 on a that motor was designed for boost and it's not something you do lightly. On an engine designed for zero boost, you'll really need to do your homework.

I'd go custom Wiseco before a custom Diamond if you're just wanting extra coatings and such on your pistons. We've had more success on the boost combos with the Wiseco pistons than we have with Diamonds.
