Suggestions: Drop In Pistons & Rods for 2.0 Setup?

What pistons, and rods do you guys recommend for a 2.0L setup? Planning on adding the FP Red sometime soon. Thanx

From Bushur Site:

BR Spec J&E Tough Skirt Coated Forged Pistons
Crower Rods
ARP Rod and Main Bolts, Bearings,
Fully Blueprinted and Balanced

Gotta say I like Buschur's work, guy is a true enthusiast.

I went with the Buschur Stage 3 shortblock --- and I'm looking to go with the Red as well (hopefully FP can ship some units on time). Should be a riot on the streets!

Yup thats the price for the fully built shorty. If you don't have a core to give them you'll need to pay the core charge on top of that 3k.

Great price for race proven, bulletproof, *** whoopin SOB.
