runing it like this for a little while then gonna build

 

you should just throw in the pistons too. the rods fit perfectly with no modification. Its a good starting build, but what kind of ecu are you running with this set up? i'm using hondata s200. Works like magic.

 

ill be running a skunk 2 chipped ecu p28 i think

 

ARP rod bolts should be in the mix as well.

 

y im not revin over 7k muntill im built

 

Are you putting ITR pistons in?

 

if u don't want to rev it over 7k until ur built then just wait till ur built and run it to 10k....then u will be spanking everyone on the street cause u can rev to 10k and they can't....

 

For the record the ITR pistons don't "bolt right in". They will require some milling to make them mount to your LS rods. If you don't want to upgrade the rods at least shotpeen the LS ones. Your setup so far looks pretty solid though.

 

i plan on buying rods not useing the shity ls ones lol
