what name brand rods and pistons does anyone highly recomend for boost application??....just want to get an idea of what everyone is using and has had no problems with

 

CP pistons and Crower or Pauter rods for high boost. If you are only running low boost, less than 20 pounds then you should be able to get away with Eagle rods , though I have ssen them pushed well past that.

 

I'm running 18psi on oem usdm gsr pistons and rods. If you plan on boosting high crower or pauter rods would be my choice. Any forged pistons will do really.

 

+1

if your gonna run stock internals, at least get them shot-peened (sp?)

 

ls rods are very strong if your going to go with just pistons.

 

Forged all the way

Eagle rods are at a good price +1
Plus they increases the connecting rod bolt size +1
You can also get custom rod length to ease the strain on the motor +1
(When investigating my build I found the custom set of rods was only +$60)

Endyn makes wonderful pistons +1

 

get ARP rod bolts!
