I was in awe when I compared a stock rod to a H beam rod. Huge difference lol. Good luck on your build.

yea im glad it was something worth doing the build for tho.. i'd say 3 cracked pistons is worth it!

Yea the difference is night and day between the stock and forged pieces!

What are you planning to do about your tranny with all the new pieces being put on? I noticed that you have a shift kit and cooler but nothing else. Just courious, I'm planning on jumping to a bigger shot pretty soon.

Well before the boost goes up, I'm looking into either a forged one from level ten or someplace else..or even a t56. However a swap to a stick is out of the budget for right now. Boost might have to stay at 8lbs till the $ train comes around.
