What's your buddies hp goals? If he's pretty determined to build the bottom end he can follow the same guidlines as a turbo car pistons, rods, sleeving. There are a lot of different kinds of available. Mostly what you need to look at is HP goals then make a determination. Those vortechs makes some pretty good power with smaller pulleys. FYI I'd look into a custom ribbed belt and pulleys if he's looking for high horsepower. On the 00' si we put a vortech on a while back the belt would start to slip once we got to the 9-10 psi range. We had to constantly tighten it down.

I like cp pistons and pauter rods get them from earl on this board, and benson sleeves. But what ever you want.

Not off the top of my head. Check the sponsors forum and their sites, you can usually find great deals.

You can get 8-rib pulley/crank kit from Payn. Good grip with 6.5" Crank Pulley

If your friend wants less than 400Hp, go with Piston, Rods and Hondata.

Then work from there, valves, sleeves and so on.
