building a Ls/Vtec and dont trust the rods and pistons for what i want to do, looking for a red line no less than 9 but going for 10 and wanted to know what would be the top choice for performance and worry less revs and high rpms?

What's your budget?

 

Crower, Carillo, and Cunningham all make excellent rods, none of which are cheap. ~$700 for 4.

Wiseco, CP, and JE all make good forged pistons.

 

well im doing a steady build and im getting hooked up with parts pretty cheap to make the ls vtech and gettin pretty cheap work done, so i can afford to get reliable rods, i wanna make safe power, ide rather go expensive instead of having a blown motor,

i heard the stock ls crank shaft is ok thou? i heard its just best to get in micropolished and easier that way but idk?

if you want 10k revs get an Lightweight I-beam rod. i believe carillo and probe makes them.... u also better have some decently high compression and some big cams to make power up there...most setups dont

Also how do people manage to misspell VTEC ? its on the valve cover for god sake

did you know the stock crank is "micropolished" ?

 

Oo oo! Another question!!

How many 89 crank motors have you seen make power past 9k(without a spike)??

 

Street motors...........?

You blew the LSvtec already?
What crank are you planing on using with those GSR rods and pistons?

 

maybe consult the guy twice quoted in my sig

 

nah i didnt quite get to the Vtec yet, i was gonna get some thicker rods first so they didnt break, but inevitably they did, just earlier than i thought they would, funny thing thou is it broke when i was driving slow haha, i thought that was funny then i realized "oh **** i just threw a rod" then it started to suck

im not sure yet, havent really thought about it
