Any and all feedback welcome, Thanks,
1. you can go as much as you think you can handle. Although eagle rods are rated at 600hp unless you get the extreme's (1000hp). obviously fuel components must be added so you dont blow it. It's not so simple as to just throw in rods/pistons.
2. Not necessarily. if you keep it below 15 psi, most of the time ignition retard is not necessary. An SFMU and some injectors will suffice.
3. if you mean worth it like "fun", then yes, totally. Money wise, you might as well do some more things like crane/crower valve springs to combat valve lift.
4. don't know. overpriced anyway.
5. other than pistons/rods and a good fuel/ignition setup, like MSnS, or PF & dis2, you're on the right track.___________________________________________
