Are you going to be using the stock rods? If so, APR rod bolts should be on that list.

to me it seems your focusing on some of the wrong things and your not knowing how ls/vtecs work or why they break. check the link in my signature. then read up at

Re: my ls-vtec setup. (stockLS)
There have ben a few posts about shotpeening rods and it actual ineffectivness. Also you don't need forged pistons. OEM Honda pistons are actually very good. Oil squirters are another thing that I personally think is an unneccessary expense. These are just my opinions of course.

Re: my ls-vtec setup. (civichopeful)
an area honda tuner whom is running an ls vtec setup and he told me to use the forged pistons aswell mainly because the stockers will heat up at the high rpms.
