Default Re: stock connecting rod question?

This is some great dialog on the stock rods and bolts, and timely. I've got my parts gathered and I will start assembling it all shortly. I intend on using stock rods after shot peening them and have a set of the ARP-Pro Series rod bolts to hold it all together. In addition to whats being said, I would like to suggest having the rotating assembly balanced afterwards. I am also having a set of K&B .030 over pistions, and a new harmonic balance. For me I think it's rather manditory, but even just changing bolts could in theory change the balance. Just my two cents worth.
