if you're doing the miniram, and you've got a stock L98 at the moment, i might suggest as a minimum to the bottom end having the machine shop install ARP bolts and studs, and having to rods resized.

which means you've got to pull the engine, haul it to them, and pay for their services.

or you can ignore all of the above, regularly spin to 6200-6500 rpms, and possibly risk a very painful disaster. then maybe not. but do you know for sure? what level of factory tolerance stack was built into your engine?

so there's a dilemma.

you might want to increase your budget by at least 50% or more to absorb the decisions you'll make along the way and reduce the "oops that was a whopping surprise" phenomenon.
