I just got done with my 2.4, im using Arp L19's and the Fel Pro Permatorque. Id go with that route. I went with Wiseco 8.8:1 Pistons, Eagle Rods, and im running an evo III 16g with e85 and loving it.
PS, The oil pan will not clear the Arp main studs, if thats what you use. I actually used a crank scraper from here,
