im looking to keep the 6.0 stock bore and stroke unless a stroker kit isnt that mush more. im hoping to make 800+ horse. gonna switch to 317's to l92 heads most likely as boost wont be over 15psi. any advice is appreciated-Nick

Callies Compstar H-Beam and Wiseco Pistons.

I would do LSA heads vs the L92s seeing as they have a thicker deck. Or a aftermarket cathedral head.

^^ Im with this guy but I'm partial to diamond pistons. Wiseco makes a great product you cant go wrong with either.

I run a custom -24cc dish diamond piston and a bronze bushed stock rod.

The stock rod will do the deed, but there isn't much margin for error. A friend of mine snapped one at 850+ HP as a result of a methanol failure.

Albeit, the rod wasn't root cause, but it did turn what could have been a chipped piston affair into an event of running over parts of the engine.

Personally, I would probably go aftermarket beyond 800 HP.

For the guys saying stock rods will hold 800hp, are we talking flywheel hp or rear wheel hp?

I knew the newer motors got stronger rods but i didn't think they could take that much. Are they reliable pushing them that hard?

Im needing to know the same thing.

If you are talkin flywheel numbers then yea, the stock stuff will last you a while if you have a good tune on the car. Rwhp... You should save yourself some headache and put some good rods in it. Compstars are probably gonna be your best bang for your buck.
