maperformance has them for $91+ ship. Lowest price I've seen, since I usually see them for over $100.

How much boost will the 4g69 handle with just the head studs and main studs with stock internals?

It hasn't really been tested. It's generally believed that you shouldn't go above ~10-11psi without new pistons. Our stock rods are forged, but the pistons aren't.

AL (Dynoflash) did a test on a customers car who I guess didnt care. I believe it was on youtube. I'm sure you can find it on there.

I personally wouldnt push it to much. Cheap upgrade why not be safe.

Erm, that's an Evo, we're not talking about Evos.

Yes, the stock rods should be good for more power, but I don't know how much more.
