Ok guys its time for a new set up.This time im looking to break the 800whp(hopefully). The block is a B18B bore to 84.5mm I am going to use the eagle stroke kit, its going to stroke the motor a 2.2 liter but I want to use pauter rods instead of the eagle rods that came with the kit. The pauter rods run between $800-$900 but eagle offer a titanium rod for a $1000. Would it be better to go with the pauter or the eagle? Pauter also offers a titanium rod but it would run 3600 for the whole set. For the pistons I want to use Ross pistions, but i heard diamond pistions are better and cheaper because the guy who open the company use to have part ownership with Ross. Now he just open his own company and he's trying to sell for cheaper. I am undecided wheather or not to use the full race pro AM top mount manifold with a 4 inch downpipe or lovefab side winder2 with 4 inch downpipe. I'm leaning towards the lovefab because its AC compatable and its $400 cheaper. However there is no performance charge on the lovefab so any help would be great guys. THANKS.

 

Damn, 800whp. Get whatever is strongesbecause with that power, you will deffinatley need some stout rods and pistons.

 

Go ask a local shop that builds race cars of that caliber, not a bunch of hypocritical armchair prophets here on H-T.

 

your going for 800hp and still keeping AC? umm ok.. anyways it seems like CP makes the best pistons for our cars and Pauter Rods should handle that power.
