Nice and strong are two words that are opinion based. Define nice and strong.. The stock engine runs strong and looks nice.. See what I mean?

You need some kind of objective to properly choose the parts and build the engine.. Aluminum rods are nice and they hold up to 1000+hp but they may not be the right choice for your budget or how the engine would be used.. JE forged lightweight pistons are nice, expensive, and hold up to serious power. But if you are only making 4-450 then you wasted your money when a TRW could have done the job at half the cost..

The combo has to be matched to properly make power and stay within a budget. Like I told you before you need guidelines first of which is budget, second is type of use, and third is desired power level. If you have the first two set in stone that is all I would need to build the engine. I would give you the most power I can for xxx amount in a street motor that sees xxx kind of duty.. Get it?
