How much power and rpm on stock rods Thinking of putting a good set of heads and cam in my SS, its a 2000 model but I have an 02 model LS1 to go in it. How much horsepower and rpm can the stock rods in 02 motor hold up to? Could I put any nitrous to them?

theres quite a few high hp cars around here have had no problems
i think the rod bolts is more of a concern and i think its like 66-6800rpms before its an issue
i know a guy that sprayed a 200 shot on his car for years and he traded it at over 100k with still no issues
also couple guys with h/c/i cars and 125/150 shot....both are well into the 500s with no problems

So can I just replace rod bolts or do I have to get better rods in order to fit in better rod bolts. Also, what size cam can I fit in without worrying about piston to valve clearence issues?
