I'm trying to order rods right now, but i just noticed that manley makes two differents h-beam rods that work for the Evo 8. First part number is 14020 (longer) and the other is 14022(shorter). Only difference is that the "center to center" measurement on the 14020 part number is 6mm or .237" longer. Im 90% sure i go with 14022 rod, but can anyone confirm that this is correct?

Stock crank, 85.5mm bore/pistons.

Okay so i just figured out that the 14020 is 156mm and the 14022 is 150mm. Just answered my own question there.

You can use the 156mm rods with a stock crank but you have to use pistons that have a compression height 6mm shorter than stock compression height. Not much sense in trying to make the rod/stroke ratio any higher than stock though, unless you're trying to rev to the moon.
