Buying new rods, but not changing the pistons?? Then not balancing an assembly that has different rods and will need to make decent RPMs to make any boost/power???
Your making a bunch of poor decisions here...
Not sure I understand what your saying. It will have new rods and new Pistons. I fully plan to weigh the new assembly vs the old. If it's over 10 grams different I will balance. Once again though this is not a race engine. What would you consider "decent rpms"? I am working with Hughes on the correct cam and will tune the blower for the rpm I plan to hit.
