whats with the discolouration of the rods??? Is it a result of shotpeening almost seems like the friction from the peening overheated the rod?

that's probably from installing the wrist pins thru the piston into the rod. People heat up the small end of the rod to make it expand and freeze the wrist pin and it slides together much easier without having to press it together.

Looks good.
What intake manifold are you going to run ?
What are you going to use for injectors/fuel pump/ecu ?

I'm going with a pro series skunk 2 manifold and rc 310's. I have a walbro 255hp and p72 w/ hondata s200 running in the car now. I want to sell that setup and go with a s300 and p28.

How much for a hondata basemap for my current setup? I'm running a stock itr basemap now and the limiter is set at 8484rpm
