I'm doing a 80mm turbo set up on my ws6 with a 2500hd 6.0 motor. I was wondering how much horse power the stock pistons rods and crank block can handle.

Does anyone have any idea on the max horse power rating the rods and pistons rated for in the lq4

Well I have a buddy that had a tc76 on a 6.0 in his truck only mod to the engine was a ls6 cam. he made right around 600 rwhp through a 4l60 in a 4wd truck. not sure what the boost levels were. He eventually hurt a ring land on a piston,

98cobrakiller went around 10.0 with is stock lq9 before he tossed a rod out the side of the block

You will have 2 issues. keeping your tune safe to not hurt a piston and keeping your rpms down to not toss a rod

I think someone just made like 830rwhp or somehwere in that ballpark with stock bottom end LQ9.

A full weight gto has run high 9s and over 140 on a stock lq4 I believe.

Thanks for the info guys. I guess I'll worry about rods and pistons when I have the extra cash money to switch them out.
