The only thing I would suggest is to go ahead and do a 6 bolt swap. I would definitely do it now while everything is getting rebuilt.

Please explain what "JDM" 2g pistons are and why you are putting Eagle rods on them?

If you get ARP mains, because they are studs, the machine shop has to hone the block to align it properly. Swapping to a 6-bolt is NEVER the answer for anything, not even crankwalk, because only 1% of the '95-'97 7-bolts even did it.

OK i agree with keeping my sevenbolt. I have read that 6 bolts walk as much as 7 bolts. Why go through the trouble? I will be also getting a MBCAD kit, which makes the motor have extra insurence on "crankwalk." So, your saying a should not go with the main studs? I will eventually run higher boost. The reason I have JDM pistons with eagle rods is that I dont want to get weisco pistons/ forged because i have heard that they need replaced a couple years down the road. I dont have the supporting mods right now to keep them at the full potential. I havent heard anything about the rods having to be replaced. Or should i just put the stock rods in for now until i have all the mods needed? Right now the car is all stock, but i will be investing money into it, until it has 400+ horse. I just want to do everything right the first time.
