Custom rods? I don't mean to sound rude at all, but do you have a large amount of money for all of this? What you want to do is going to cost you quite a bit. The thing that's confusing me is that you're saying that you want 300-350WHP; but you are contemplating parts that would be good for 600+WHP. Do you see what I'm saying? I mean, following through is one thing, but there's no need for overkill if your goal really is around 300WHP.

Not really, just wanna do it right so i will take my time with it.
Well, to answer your question i spent a good $17,000 to build my 455 right, so i mean if i'm gonna do this build right i know i have to spend some big money. Umm.. maybe it would be a better idea just to buy a blank block and start from scratch. you have a point there.
But I mean i can still just build up on my existing engine, by the way, how much would it cost for a set of 4 connecting rods?
Thank you
Leo

if your not gonna swap blowers than why are you rebuilding your motor stage 2 isnt THAT much stress, you could get away with cams and valve springs , i feel your pistons and rods should be fine , but its all up to you good luck, and you better be able to tune running that high of compression

I am also using the JBP stage 3 head, JBP billet cams (custom grind), adjustable cam gears, custom head studs and Ferrea valvetrain.
On top of that I am using an ARE dry sump kit, as well a custom intake/intercooler and exhaust manifold for my (dreaded) turbos.

ohLOLOL my bad, But i have no idea what that sound is, only when i'm driving normally does it kick in, around 1800-2000 rpm its like a shakink/buzzing type like a bag of marlbles buzz and it never did that before.
WOW!! Maybe i should go with Low compression Pistons if i'm gonna be running that type of boost that's a better idea, and i will use all of the JBP stuff/ and a HELL of alot of COOOOLLIINNNGGG!!! then i will achieve some serious ponies

Of course to do that there is also other things on our list, such as our custom "Supercooler" and the meth injection.
Now for the bad news. The kind of ponies I am going for creates other problems such as the transmission, which is why I chose to go rwd instead.

We are going to put some serious boost to the engine when it is all done, 35lbs worth.

I can only agree with that idea because it is what I am doing. You get the benifit of many things already having been developed that I have waited a long time for.

As for the cooling we have a revolutionary way to cool my engine but it is very pricey and not yet available to the public.
If I was you I would email Mev or drop by his store as he stopped selling direct. He may very well be interested in doing the type of build you seem to be after.
