B6T rods are much Beefier then NA rods man, Ive seen both, and their strength shows under excessive pressure. And, I wouldnt mind going with aftermarket rods as long as they have the bushings since thats what Im after in the first place.Mazda

Thanks for the useful info man. :D
Well, I spoke with both the engine builder and Derrick over at CS and decided to just do Forged Eagle Rods. Im not going to fuss with these bushings any longer. So, now, Im going to have a nice built motor. Later on, I may buy a Light flywheel to top it off.Mazda
