Default 2.0L bottom end good for roadracing if you're currently a B18C5?

I was wondering, would the 2.0L bottom end be reliable for road racing, and constant high RPM driving?

What 2.0L bottom end?

What compression?

Which rods/pistons?

Which crank?

How high is high rpm?

Road racing isn't really sustained high rpm driving.

13:1 compression, GSR crank, Eagle Rods, IB Spec Pistons, Toda C's or Jun 3's

Define reliable!
Do you expect a "race" motor to last for years and years, or just be able to finish the first few events?

So far I have no complaints at all.... I have only done three events with this engine but so far so good.
