If you have any sugestions let me know on whatever. Better parts different parts, or if some of these parts wont comply

What type of HP levels are you looking for. The Crower rods may be overkill unless you're looking for around 600 HP.

If you're going turbo, don't go too wild on cam duration.

in the end i'm wantin to be lookin at around 350 to 450 hp what rods do you recomend

rogoman

The stock rods are good for up to 300+ HP. With the HP range that you're looking for, the Crower rods are a good choice.

Be careful with boring it too much; with high boost turbo charging, if the cylinder walls are too thin, they will have a tendency to balloon out, causing excessive blow-by.
