New Rods

I'm looking for a set of new lightweight rods for my brake pistons, I'm also thinking of increasing the compression by getting some domed brake pistons. I've searched around but can't find any info on this. Can somone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

If you port your brakelines, it increases the cylinder pressure enough that you really don't need the domed pistons.

If you're going to upgrade the rods, you might as well go with a stroker kit to increase the displacement. The most bang for the buck is always an overdrive pedal. I've got a 4# on mine, and it made a world of difference.

You can also increase compression by running a braided titanium line from the secondary on the high performannce windshield wiper fluid reservoir offered by the vendors.

You also need to get some of those 55# injectors... they are a little heavy over the front of the motor but by taking off the brake rotor... you can offset the 55#'s.
