Taking a step soon, need advice....
I intend to go LS/VTEC in the future, but want the best when I do it....So I want to upgrade my pistons first, thinking about stock Honda pistons... 1) Would the B16A2's pistons fit in my block...? Advantages over GS-R's and/or aftermarket? Want reliablity !
2) If I can do this, should I change my stock rods to b16A2 or shot peen my stockers to keep all the torque ? I only run to about 7K to have some fun...don't really like pushing an engine so far into vtec territory all the time...so shot peened stockers may not be too bad... I love low end torque ! (There is a budget here, but I may be willing to hold off on the head swap longer for greater payoff in the future !!! ???

Re: Taking a step soon, need advice.... (X2BOARD)
go with either the P30 or P73 pistons if you want OEM parts. The stock rods on a LS are strong enough if you dont plan on revving past 8K.
