OP: Honestly, we need some more info, and you probably should get a better idea of what you really want out of this car / engine. Different people go with different builds for different reasons, and it's all geared toward the individuals wants and tastes. Some guys prefer high-comp, some turbo, some nitrous. I will say, Eagle makes good all-around rods, but depending your goals, current budget, and what you have now, there might be better options or better rod/piston combinations to look at.
When embarking on something like this, it takes a decent amount of time just sitting down, looking around, and building a list with ideas of what you want done, and checking the approx. cost to do it. I've had my 2nd motor on a stand for months and months, I've torn it apart but still don't know how I want it back together. Thats why it's my "project". I don't expect it to ever be finished, honestly, but oddly enough thats part of what makes me love working on it. Right now, for me though, it's only been on paper for the last 4months or so, I haven't even gone into the realm of purchasing, much less serious wrenching.
Take your time, you'll be glad you did. Worst thing you can do is rush into it and then find it's not what you were looking for, or get suprised by something you didn't think of. We're always here to help, but honestly, you need a bit better of an idea of what you want before we can be really useful. Originally Posted by

budget??
I want to make between 250-300 hp, that way I won't come close to blowing a trans. I have my NX2000, we are going to strip the interior, paint the inside. Put a dash in it and of course the necessaries (gauges, driver and passenger seats). My budget isn't very limited, probably around 5 or 6 grand.
I will be having a shop build it because they will have to guarantee a running motor. I don't want to f it up. But my budget will need to include many more things, like an ecu either from jim wolf tech, or send mine into calum sult. Probably alot more things that I will run into, like missing parts off of my car, due to my brother using things his sentra needed. so.....
I want the high compression pistons. I basically want to build the block.
