Default I need to be forged

Yeah I have a stock 346 with basic boltons/cam. I plan on adding n20 to my car. Now, I see that the Lunati Pro Billet 6.125'' Connecting rods hold up to 1100hp. If I were to get those, what would be the best pistons to go with? I plan on getting trickflow heads as well. What aprox power will the stock crank hold? I plan on spraying around a 500 shot with a direct port kit and progressive controller. Thanks.

the stock crank can support over 500hp. the stock rods I think start to fail past 6500rpms. your weak point is your rod BOLTS

Stock crank will get you up to the 800-900hp range. Stick in a nice set of rods and pistons and you are good to go. I am using Callies rods and Diamond Piston for my FI motor build

wow the stock crank can take you a long ways, but must be a pretty penny.

And that much spray must be going into a serious drag setup..
