Good setup, but ditch that Jet ECU. You'd be much better off using a chipped obd1 ecu.

I don't mean to sound like a simpleton, but could you go into further details. Thank you:thumbup:

with a chipped obd1 ecu you can have it rechipped over and over again.

JET ecu's are crap, and notorious for having problems. And with an obd1 ecu, you can have many different chips burned so you can find out what works best for your setup, and stick with that. The chips can also be customized for rev limit, and fuel and timing curves.

www.jdmhondaparts.com has chip burning services. you supply the ecu and they chip it for you. you can find an ecu at a junkyard or wherever. make sure you get the right one though.

I like your setup except the rods and cam gears. "Recondition rods?" Are you shotpeening them? You minus well get new rods since the engine is going to be torn down. That's just for safety percautions so you don't blow the motor. Also the DC cam gears, i'd ditch in favor for maybe skunk2 or something along those lines. Also, I hope you're putting in valve springs and retainers cause you'll definately need it with the 404's. Besides that, everything looks cool. Good luck

As far as the rods go, the LS rods are good to about 8k with ARP rod bolts. Any higher and you're pushing it. And yeah, ditch the DC gears.
