Default what rods to use for LS/VTEC?

should I upgrade the stock LS rods? or are they ok to re use?

are ITR rods the same length? will they work instead of the LS rods? or are the only rods that can replace the ls rods aftermarket?

thanks.

all b series rods are diff. length. except for b20 and ls rods, they are the same. if you plan on going aftermarket, got them for an LS.

My LSVTEC goes to 9000 RPM at least once every-other-day.

Stock rods with ARP rod bolts.

ARP rod bolts

If you're uber worried, get the rods polished to remove forging flash, then shotpeen.
