Default Rebuilding for F/I

I am going to rebuild my LS/Vtec. I am going to have th eblock sleeved with GE Godzilla sleeves 81.25mm bore. I have a set of JE part # 149230 pistons for turbo use and was wondering if I could use Pauter B16 rods in it. I only question this because I got a hell of a deal on them. What crank would I have to use to keep the engine happy with this setup? Any comments can be helpful.

no you can't use b16 rods in an LS block without custom parts to MAKE them work.

if you're using SRP's then you're limited on power anyways, and might as well sell the pauters off and buy some eagles, and pocket the left over cash for other parts of the build.

The SRP's have been used in several 400+whp applications, however they would definately be the weak point if you're running Pauter rods.

that was my point

the pauters, not considering they're the wrong rod for his application, would be entirely overkill for the setup.
