Re: stock connecting rod question?
Asking my opinion, there is no choice. Rebuild your rods and use ARP bolts!!! Rebuilding your rods is just smart insurance. Cheap, easy and in my opinion a necessity, not a nicety. Definetly cheaper than redoing it over after a rod bolt let go. Especially with a little shot of N2O, because its so easy to turn up the wick after you get used to it. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. You can do what you like, its your motor and money.
