Hey it's been a while since ive posted in the engine tech fourm but I'm just getting around to buying parts for my new build and the first thing I'm buying is new rods, ive chosen to get the manley turbo tuff 156mm I beam rods with the 22mm wrist pin for the 6bolt and there is an option for the ARP 625+ rod bolt upgrade for $200.
My goal for this build is to bulletproof the motor for 1,000whp but I'm only shooting for 850whp on the 6466 woth E85. And a max rev of 9500-10,000 thus, the long rod. The car is a weekend warrior/drag car. I want it to be "safe" for the revs is it worth the extra 200$ for the bolts? Ive never had issues up to 40psi on my 6466 with arp 2000's on my scat rods. And 8500rpm
Also any recommendation on piston choice now days? Kinda been looking at the ross stroker 9:1 as my #1 choice, considering wiseco hd2 or 1400 as my second choice, and manley as my 3rd (cause how could manley piston on manley rod be bad) I'm open to input on Compression ratio, ive always been 9:1 for the tuning margin, buy considering 10 or 11:1. Lets hear it.
