[QUOTE="2011 gtcs, post: 16488535, member: 121478"] 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.
