I've been thinking of a somewhat budget way to build my bottom end. They're two options I'm thinking of.
First option is to buy the the JDM engineering rods and piston upgrade, looks like the perfect setup but I'd need a machine shop that actually knows mod motors and in AZ that's not common and I don't want to send the engine out of state.

Option two, buy the JDM engineering built short block, this will make everything easy, but 13k plus shipping isn't exactly budget, plus I still need a clutch. The only plus side is I could sell my stock bottom end for a decent amount.

I'm guessing I'm around 780whp, or at least that's what my tuner thinks, I'd like to get the bottom end built so I can really enjoy the car and maybe turn it up more. If anyone has done the upgraded rods and pistons from JDM please chime in.
