starfire4, the forged crank is a 6 lobe crank, i think, so it may or may not be a better choice. i would say the arp connecting rod bolts might be a good use of money just for saftey sake even though the 292 ones are a little larger. the aftermarket con rods and head bolt studs and welded head in handtight's link might be a little costy for a street engine. but hey if you got the cash....do it.
