I run a stock crank, crack tested, balanced, nitrided, with a vibration =
damper - no problem revving into the sevens, consistently.  I=E2=80=99m =
not sure you need billet on a GT6.  Never had a bottom end failure.
Rods - Carillo - only drawback is little tiny bolts that need to be =
torqued by stretch gauge.  If you use the wrong lube on them you can =
overtorque them easily, and the little buggers cost about $40 each (ask =
me how I know).
Pistons - I=E2=80=99ve had good luck with Wiseco making them for me - =
reasonable price, good specs, will make them any way you want them.
