I have an LS/VTEC engine with stock LS rods, rod bolts and PR3 pistons.
I would like to rev to about 9000 rpm and build in excess of 185 HP.
I am planning on upgrading to ARP rod bolts and ARP Head studs.
I am contemplating upgrading to Eagle rods as well, but funds are scarce so I won't do it unless I have to.
I was wondering at what point would it be advisable to upgrade the rods (RPM and HP levels being used as my reference) ???
Thanks
