wow, you could get eagle rods for about $600.00 and same with wiseco’s. Which i have experience with both in previous builds so i like them for my power goals. Have you ever heard of venolia pistons??? there pretty affordable as well, but i havent heard of anyone who has used them.

I tried to contact nick g about tuning my car but no response yet.☹
