Need inputs on my piston/rod choice
You and your valid reasons for considering other options. :-)
Was it I Robot or Eagle Eye? "My logic is undeniable."
I am going to have the rotating assembly balanced either way. If the price difference between rods/pistons/stock crank + balance vs balanced rotating assembly is not more than $500, I don't see the point of keeping the stock crank.
Makes sense. Another thing to consider is... How much can you get out of your current short block if you sell it? Cost of balanced rotating assembly + $$$ you get from selling your current short block + cost of machining current block = close to the cost of a built short block with a better block as a starting point?

Just giving you more to think about … LOL
I can relate on having to draw the line some where. Most of us have some kind of budget limitation. Just throwing out options to consider. Most of the sponsors sell short blocks on the budget side that you couldn't build yourself for that price if you have to pay a local machinist to do anything.

Verdad Gallardo I talked one of the guys that had a Procharger on his C5 vette. He said that he had the upgraded pusher fans, and he still was unable to drive the car during the hot summer months because his AC just couldn't cool in 110+ degree heat.

Did he say which fans? They are not all created equal....and he's in a better, different airflow/temp problems than an Fbody.
