Hey guys,
Now that I have the block stripped down, I'm looking at having it rebuilt at Magnum Machine in Chesapeake, VA.
After the TFS top end kit is installed, I suppose I'll end up with around 300 whp.
I need some advice on rods and pistons. I'm considering Probe SRS pistons. They seem pretty good for the money and are pretty light.
Also, I'd like to reuse the stock rods. Is there any benefit from installing aftermarket forged rods? There is a small chance of forced induction in the future.
Having ARP hardware installed on the stock rods and then having them balanced/shot peened/etc will cost me dollars. Eagle sells a set of 8 forged rods for under $300. I'm not sure how great they are, but it's just a pricepoint.
Details
Does anyone have any experience with Probe pistons? Or advice with the rod situation?
Thanks!
