how much will that cost to do all that machining on the rods? also, do you recommend performance rod/main bearings and those toga performance rings with medium boost pressures (like 8-12 psi)?

I don't know the cost, its not outrageous, call your local performance machine shop. Yes, get the better bearings and rings.

Have you thought of having your rods cryogenically treated? Supposedly, it makes a HUGE difference strength wise. I read about a turbo engine: It needed a new turbo every six runs. After they treated all the turbo's parts, it made over a hundred runs with no problems.

I've done a lot of research on this for other things. Its merits are quite debateable. Some people say it works, some people say it doesn't. It doesn't seem to hurt, but doesnt' always help either. It does not increase strength. That is a property of the material itself which doesn't change. Shotpeening is very similar (but also very proven) in that it helps decrease the chances of failure by reducing or nearly eliminating stress risers, stress concentrations, and surface imperfections which can lead to crack formation and premature fatigue failure.

it doesn't quite come with everything you need.

That really sucks. Making a new downpipe is no big deal, but sourcing all the BS little parts you need is a total PITA. Thats all thats holding me up at this point. I have all the big stuff. Just trying to round up all the little BS stuff.
