To me it's a waste of a GSR block to put an LS crank in it. Thats just me and i need to turn at least 9k in the point im at. The rod ratio is not made for high rpm's. Thats why you need those ARP rod Bolts. If it were me i would have bought an aftermaket crank if i couldnt find a GSR/TypeR crank. I'm sure it will work just fine but i wouldnt rev it to 8,500. I think 8k is enough. Anything more and you will have bearing trouble.

B18B rods - 3.504" , R/S: 1.571
B18C rods - 3.433", R/S 1.581
Very minimal difference.
The GSR rods/piston combo will be able to revslightly more and make hp higher in the rpm band. However the LS rods/piston combo will make slightly more tq and will be able to rev slightly lower.

89mm stroke, 137mm rods. 137/89 = ~1.54
