got a eg ahtch with gsr swap looking to rebuild soon just wondering if i put a ls crank and ls rods in it and get the rods shot peened what kinda compression could i safely run on the stock shoot peened rods looking into going with jdm type r (11.6:1) or usdm type r pistons (11.1:1) i am just going to run ctr cams with either omni or type r valve train any info or different ideas will be greatly appreciated also this is a street car that will be driven daily on pump gas thanks

 

that would be a pretty good combo. check out this site to check what your compression will be. they calculate your compression for you. http://www.c-speedracing.com

 

yeah thanks that is were i got the calculations for the compression ratios but my question is are the stock ls rods if i get them shootpeened are they strong enough to hold the 11.6:1 or should i just go with the 11.1:1 compression any extra info would be greatly appreciated thanks

 

Usdm itr pistons are a nice choice and they are inexpensive. You dont really need to shotpeen the rods just change the bolts out for some arps and make sure you get them resized.

 

where could i get some oversized usdm itr pistons at????

if you are going to do all that put in some forged pistons/rods
