Standard roads are rated at something like 700 bhp,if thet are shot peened,deseamed,polished and balanced,try phoning turbosystems and asking his advise

Ive just deseamed, polished and balanced and weight match my standard rods...they're all spot on apart from one being 1 gram lighter (shouldnt effect owt).....new little end bearings and a set of ARP bolts to finish them off. Gonna weight match me pistons next....its all free so may as well do it
