Sounds like you think your rods are coming back out anyway. I stayed with the stock rods on the advice of my engine builder, who was fully aware of our power goals. I did put a call into him for specs on the pistons, but he hasn't gotten back to me. I'll keep you posted as I learn more.

yep thats pretty much what im thinking. I actually have m44 rods in there now cause they are lighter. I may want to supercharge later and i figure those might be iffy with a 88mm stroke and FI.

330 doesnt seem bad at all. You can make offers too so id probably offer like 320 shipped. Metric mechanic charges like 700 for a slightly shorter rods, which are presumably similar quality, but who knows.

no rush on the specs, Im leaving town tomorrow and will be back Monday.
