Totally agree here. 2.2 is plenty and with a good valve train, 10k rpm is just fine. Stock bore/stock stroke for a FI drag car. NA is a different ball game.

I read somewhere in the forum, a member built a 2.4 and still reved it to 9500. I'm looking for 1000+ and spray off the line.

so you are trying to run 8's? mid 8's?

That's what I'm shooting for....

Thanks for the feed back guys. For the 2.2 what rods, sleeves, pistons???

I like to get opinions cause some builders, tuners like to use only one brand. I like to build once right and not 2 and 3 times for being cheap or wrong product.

Only rods I've had is Carrillo's and CP pistons. I was thinking of going with them, but wanted to know what the big HP cars are running here.

Most of the guys I know making that kind of power run custom wiseco pistons and aluminum rods. Aluminum rods are "springy" so they help the motor live a lot longer at those power levels.
