Ok I am going to be purchasing a set of Eagle H-Beam rods for my LS/VTEC build. My original plan was using the stock LS rods with a set of JDM P30 pistons but since I want to be able to rev the motor a little higher I have been advised to go with aftermarket rods and in that case I need to use aftermarket pistons as well.

I am looking for some aftermarket pistons that are going to put me somwhere between 11.0:1 and 11.5:1 CR.

Also with the Eagle H-Beam rods dont those come with ARP rod bolts already? I heard that there are two different size rod bolts that ARP makes. Should I go with the larger rod bolt since I am only planning on revving to 8000 RPM?
