could shotpeen your rods too for added strength.

pistons - depends on your application. stick with the main manufacturers. are you going to turbo? you want low compression pistons... all motor naturally aspirated? go with something around 11.8:1 compression, like d00d said ^^.

How much power are we trying to achieve?

You can boost in to the low 200's on stock b20 bottom

200 is not a psi boost range... 10 psi maybe, for 200 hp...
