Default Good All-motor pistons and rods....

What are some good All-motor pistons/rods for the ITR? I plan on running eagle rods but i'm still not sure which pistons to get, i want to be 11:1+ CR. I've heard JE is good but they are too much $$$ for me. Also, wheres a good place online to buy good all-motor parts?
Thx.

that seems like a waste to just throw in OEM pistons though

lots of ppl like je pistons, tried and true...

the flavor of the month a while back was endyne rollerwaave (wiseco) pistons and eagle rods.

Don't be a sissy, 12.5:1 is perfectly streetable allmotor.

ctr pistons can use stock rods, and they're cheap - plus they bump the compression anyway... it's not like you have a sleeved block! Those are the best route to take, imho..... bang for the buck wise for sure.

Seems like your best option is to wait until you can afford forged internals.

Is something wrong with your current setup that requires new internals?

My ITR dropped a valve, so right now i have a GSR block w/ an ITR head w/ toda B's and valvetrain. The GSR block has bad rings but it gets me A to B but it just smokes.....alot.(1qt in 4days).
I want to rebuild my ITR block and slap this head on it, hondata is in the mail so i can tune it once its done.
