Default Looking for Specifics for rotating assembly upgrade

I'm getting ready to upgrade the internals on the engine. I'm choosing to remain at a stock displacement and the car has a STS kit with a FMIC and Meth/H2O. I want to drop the compression too. My goal is 650 RWHP. I currently have 42# injectors and will be going to 60#'s. What specific parts would be up to task. What brand? What model? Anything that I should get to help reach my goal safely?

Really All you would need to do is upgrade pistons and rods. The stock crank will handle that much power no problem. I would look into some Dished JE pistons and a nice set of rods. Just get all new bearings and have the rotating assembly balanced.

Yep, all you need for the shortblock are some good H beam rods, JE or diamond pistons w/rings, bearings and some ARP main studs and you'll have a very stout bottom end.
