What about this Crank?

Cast cranks will kaboom with more than about 7 PSI of boost.

The rods you picked out are bottom of the barrel. You may as well be running bone stock rods. LT1 'pink' rods may even be a step up.

For the mild application you're wanting, buy Eagle brand.

You can find decent brand new Eagle rods right here on RJ for about 300.00.

Crank must be forged for it to live.

Save your pennies and do it right, or do it cheap and do it twice!
