I'm building a ls-vtec and i have a few questions.

1) Is a lightened crank a bad idea for daily driving? Right now i need pistons and rods, but i found this package on ebay and it seems like its a good deal

2) If i don't go with the above setup, what rods would you recommend? I see that its cheaper to go after-market, instead of buying new oem rods from the dealer.

3) If i get a lightened crank is their anything i need to look out for?

So far my setup is

B16 head
CTR cams
Skunk2 Intake mani
330 cc injectors
*not sure on what kind of header yet

B18B block
LS or Eagle lightweight crank
*Not sure on rods yet.
ITR pistons
ITR oil pump/water pump
ARP head and rod bolts

Thanks for the advice. Got any other tips to keep it reliable?

 

i dunno how much i would trust those parts, especially for important internal parts that you need to be reliable. But with that aside, i know if you use a lightened crank, your suppose to be it all balanced.
