I have brian crower lightweight sportsman rods with the 625 bolts. theyre pretty awesome, good for 10,000 rpms. they are 100 grams lighter each. Which pretty much eliminates the weight of an entire rod. they are 428g as opposed to 530 or so for the regular ones.

I dont know yet man, i just got a basemap, next thing i knew i was on a plane going to afghanistan.

But according to the Brian crower site the lightweight rods are only $430 which isnt bad when you taki into account the weight savings.

some of my parts are

BC rods
mahle 10.5 pistons 81.5mm
acl bearings
arp head and main bolts
fidanza 7.5lbs flywheel
skunk2 manifold
aem short ram
supertech valve springs
ferrea 5000 valves flat faced +1mm
supertech bronze valve guides and valve seals
Omni 68mm TB
Apexi WS2 catback
SMSP high flow cat 2.25in

I still need a header and cams. so im assuming im in the 180 wheel range maybe, idk really know. I gotta get her dyno tuned when im back from this **** hole

I have been looking to the same issue. but i read somewhere that i might be able to get away with stock rods? its a b18c type r and plan on doing a similar compression as Tim and maybe get 230hp or so. would stock itr rods be good for this?
