Looks like a nice build. My only suggestion is lose the Eagle rods... They are garbage and you are gambling with a lot of money trying to put 1000rw on those rods. A set of Callies is the bare minimum I would run. They're only a little more and definitely worth the extra $$$.

Looks good so far.. can't wait to see the final product. I agree with the Eagle rods. They don't have a very good rep on here for holding up high hp applications. I'd go Callies or Oliver myself.

Sick build. I was going turbo also. Had the system new in the boxes.. Got sick realizing the actual costs to hit big power #'s. Sold because I found a car built 90% of what I wanted. Its supercharged. oh well. Still expensive, but saved a ton if I were to build it. Keep those pics comeing, looks nice.
