Hello guys im new in here and a newbie building my first engine, so im really inspired by diymike channel on youtube budget build, i have k24a2 with its original head and will do some mods in it:
1. Skunk2 stage 3 cam
2. Supertech valvetrain set
3. Supertech forged piston 87.5mm 12.5 comp(i actually want to use nippon racing 87.5mm type s cast piston but a guy in other forum told me to get a forged piston to if i want my motor to last in drag races)
4. Maxpeeding rod this come with arp 2000 rod bolt(i was gonna use my original rod but my it is quite rusted and have some kind of stone like sludge in its body)
5. 4p type s oil pump
5. Ati super damper
6. Action clutch lightweight flywheel
7. Acl race or king race

I hope this setup will get me to 300hp ish and i understand due to long stroke of k24, this engine doesnt like high rpm and im fine with it, a guy told me to get arp 625 rod bolts if i want these to lasts a lot of 8k pulls, but the price of arp 625 is quite expensive about 400$ i think the bolt is 3/8" 1600"?
Do i really need arp 625? I think its quite a mild build my setup?

This is the pic of arp 2000 that come from maxpeedingrod
