Default rods and pistons

So, I'm thinking that my newest setup is gonna be a NA build. I'm lookin to get in the 11s on the motor, at full weight. What kind of rods and pistons would you guys suggest, assuming that money IS a factor haha. Don't ask me how much cuz I don't kno I just would like some suggestions. Thanks guys

You can do that easily with a stock bottom end.
Heads, Cam, Intake, Headers, Suspension, and a decent slick will do it.

Oh, I know the stock bottom will hold up, but I might wanna lay a two stage on it later on so what would you suggest as far as being safe

Well if your gonna build it now for a big shot later, your not gonna do it cheap & it be right. If I were planning that I would go:

Compstar rods w/ARP 2000 bolts
Diamond pistons (you decide -cc for your desired compression)

And honestly if your gonna rebuild the block, you should go ahead & do your heads, cam & lifters while your in there. If you don't you'll kick yourself in the *** later.
