hey guys i need to know how much hp the stock ls rods out of a b18 can handle with arp rod bolts? Also will the stock ls rods work with a itr crank shaft or should i just buy the itr rods, pistons and crank? Im wanting to build a ls/vtec setup for boost but i want to do it on a budget so i don't want to go all out on H beam rods or a new crank shaft or any thing like that considering i dont need a race car. I also dont plan to run high boost either just a little cause it will be my daily driver around 8psi with a t3 turbo more than likely a turbonetics t3 turbo that a buddy of mine has. im just looking to have a lill more power our of my 00 civic si, id like to see 300hp after boost but maybe less depending on how much hp the stock ls rods can handle. Any suggestions on what i should do would greatly apreciate it. i been doing reaseach and i keep on finding differnt people saying differnt hp ratings for stock ls rods.
