Rods and pistons
So i’ve been having a super hard time with the motor in my corvette. Gonna end up having to pull motor and tear it down. While i’ve got everything out i’m considering doing rods and pistons. I’ve got a Texas speed bald eagle cam in the motor now with all valvetrain components. Anyone recommend rods and pistons that are reasonable and quality that i can make decent power with? Car made 430whp and 415tq with just the cam kit. 2005 with t56 40k miles.

Do you plan to boost? or stay N/A? stroker kits are not much more than the cost of rods and pistons alone, its part of why they are so popular. Based on reviews from recent years, I'd stay away from the Texas speed stuff, their quality control is not in tune with how much product they're producing.

I personally like the kits that GPI sells, I think BTR sells kits as well. Hell, pretty sure Summit racing sells them, the LS platform has so much aftermarket its ridiculous.
