well there is no point in changing your rods unless you plan on a crazy NA setup or FI....

Type-S pistons are your only option for pistons without resleeving the block.


Cams are cheaper to install.

I would say cams....an satan said type s r your only option and will give you max 10 whp if that not too mention you'll have to take the rods out and get them modded to accept floating wrist pins..Also if you do pistons you'd want too hone your sock sleeves to get a good seal... I won;t get into the whole explaination but u get the drift... Cams on the other hand r easier and will provide you with more power if you have the proper tuning tools.... A dyno #1, and #2at very least a Vafc (hondata,etc is better) and #3a good tuner someone who knows what their doing.

Running low 14's is not all that easy.... I mean 14.2 and under... I've got S pistons and crower 2's and a shitload of other mods.... This gets me consistent low 14's waiting for high 13's(they'll come). If u want low 14's you can do it w stage 2 (crower or skunk)cams and good tuning.. along w your 15's and good driving....
