Yes you can run a 6.125 rod with proper piston..

Just make sure you balance your rotating assembly

correct, heres a link with the arp 2000 rod bolts

http://www.texas-speed.com/p-441-eag...000-bolts.aspx

and heres those pistons you chose

http://www.texas-speed.com/p-1104-ma...22-stroke.aspx

they will both work with stock crank.. But just know that piston ^ is made of 4032 material not 2618..

alot of the professionals recommend 2618 since its a softer material and more forgiving when you add a power adder (nitrous, turbo, etc)

I will be running a 150 shot....I was originally going to stick with the stock pistons and rods and just throw my motor back together but I have hit every road block so I said screw it and I want to order rods and forged pistons...it made 568 to the wheels with the stock stuff...and I found a steal on the rods ...so I figured why not

yeah a forged rod/piston combo is good to have because when you want more power you don't have to worry about your bottom end..
