I am planning a build using an RB26 head and stock non-turbo RB30 bottom end.. I am aiming for 550-600bhp at the end of the day and gather this is about the max for the stock block.

Any way in order to keep cost down and maybe get a bit more life and reliability out of the bottom end I have been picking up ideas from other build threads and my own knowledge. What are the opinions of polishing the stock rods to remove casting marks and potential stress raisers. Is it worht the effort? If money was no object I would buy forged ones but looking at this as an alternative bearing in mind my aim at the end of the day?

tips and opinions please!

Thank you

Lee

      I’m guess it’ll end up with a turbo

      I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested in what MCM were going to do with the NC I really enjoy their banter and occasional collaborations (like Alan from TSF, Ben from BCW, or any of the Haltech guys throwing around their experience), and I have probably watched everything they have put out

      Not yet, we basically drove it to a private road, got the logs and drove it straight back. I think I need a new passenger seat belt after the mrs squeezed the life out of it.
