Hp/Tq limitations of the LS1 As the title basically says, what can these motors safely produce before stuff starts to break? I heard of 400+rwhp with heads/cam so i am sure its a bit more then that.

the pistons can handle a 200 shot of nitrous
crank has been to 900 hp
rods are good until you change the pistons
rod bolts need changing if you want to spin higher than the factory rev limit.

Around 500whp is when I normally see stuff start to break. Either the pistons or rods usually tend to go around there. The block and crank are good, and can easily handle 700 or so.
