Go with a stronger rod for that kind of shot.

Both pistons are good to about 250 shot. After that I would go with a custom n2o piston with lowered ring and a h-beam rod with ARP-2000 bolts.

My LME motor is setup up with callies forged rods,ARP 2000 rod bolts and Wiseco forged pistons with the ring lands droped for nitrous use with 2cc valve relief. This setup will hold up to a 300 shot.
