how much more hp will stock b18b rods handle is they are shot peened? I have heard that they can handle 300 without having it done. Also how much does it normally cost to have it done.

 

might aswell by aftermarket rods imo.

 

I'm all for ghett0ness, but I think Sirkid is right on this one. Shotpeening is easy to do wrong also, and if done wrong, it can weaken your rods. Make sure you go to a reputable place that has mucho experience shot peening rods if you decide to do it.

 

If done right, the rod strength should double.

 

considering you can get a set of Eagle rods for around $325, you are probably better off getting some aftermarket stuff.

im inclined to agree. y not just put in aftermaket rosd to begin with and save time and money. when the shot peened ones fail......how much is a new block gonna cost?
