OK, motor is a 91 2.5 turbo. IM thinking of rebuilding it to handle high boost and nitrous. Somewhere in the 400-450hp range in a 2200lb drag only car. Ok im thinking JEs or Venolias for pistons. But what about crank and rods... WHat do I do here? Im on a budget too Thanks

How big's your budget? 400-450 HP isn't cheap. As for pistons and rods check out FWDperformance. They've got forged Venolia's and if for any reason you have an accident they will sell you singles. They sell some hi-perf aluminum rods too. I think even a stock 2.2/2.5 crank should work as a few people have been pushing big HP with stock cranks. I'm assuming you're using a common block.
