AI Rotating Assembly I'm a big Callies fan I've seen nothing but great stuff from them and I know that the compstar line is some really fair priced and very strong stuff. I would go with that kit from AI, espically seeing its prebalanced by Callies.

I'm not sure if I'm going 355 or 383 but its my daily driver. Ill need forged pistons at least right?
It is my daily driver, however I plan to pack a punch, being able to run at least high 11s. However I won't go to the track more than once or twice a year so rpms won't be high very often just if I'm goofing around.
So do I need to go all forged or just forged pistons fine?
Will an eagle rotating assembly be good enough? If its better than stock parts I would guess it would be safe enough.
Do I need I or H beam rods? Does it matter that much?
Where should I buy from? AI has some good ones, all forged components $2000
Lastly would a 383 be a waste for a daily driver? Should I just do a 355 with ai or le heads and be my best bet for a quick DD?

For my 383 I got my all forged rotating assembly from Competition Products and it has a Howards Tracksmart 4340 forged crank, 6" 4340 forged H beam rods with ARP 2000 capscrews, Mahle forged ft pistons and it was $1800. Then I took my parts to a local machine shop and had the block race prepped with billet splayed 4 bolt mains then had the rotating assembly balanced including the SLP lw billet flywheel and my Fluidampr balancer. I'm also going to be using LE3 heads & ported intake, 847 cam, 58mm Holley tb, Pacesetter LT's, SPEC 3+ clutch, 42# injectors, MadZ mailorder tune and 3" true duals.
