Im planning on pushing around 180-190whp(hopefully) on my B18C1 and I was wondering if I should upgrade to some eagle H beam rods or just use the stock GSRs. Maybe even get them shotpeened if needed. Compression will be bewteen 10.8-11.3(not sure which yet). Im not planning on revving higher then 8600 rpms either, although I have been thinking about going higher, I dont think its really that benefical to me though.

 

for that HP
stay stock just upgrade your bearings depending on mileage.

 

I would stay stock. Im pushing 200whp on my c1, with stock bearings, 40k miles, and it runs like a champ.
