Question Forged LS1 Questions...

I have an extra LS1 out of a 1999 Camaro Z28 and would like to build it for nitrous. I have heard that the stock crank is pretty stout. I was planning on going with forged pistons and rods that could handle a stage between 250-300 hp. Is there a proven combo (pistons & rods) that would not break the bank with the stock crank and would not need to be balanced? Thank you,

I went with Diamond pistons. Really good. Stock Crank will hold well. And YES,.. you should get er balanced!!!! ...Any forged bottom end can handel N20. Spray all day!
