Who sells forged pistons, connecting rods for our LS1's?
Any sponsors?
Thinking I might want to install now that I have my engine apart.
Will still be shooting nitrous.

Anybody help me?

Not sure if anyone keeps stock 346ci forged pistons in stock or billet rods for a 346ci motor, but I know shops can spec them out and order them for you. Email Jayson at MTI for a quote: JaysonMTI@aol.com

Nine Ball are you thinking that this might not be money smartly spent?

I think its a good idea if you plan on spraying over a 150 shot on that motor. The forged rods and pistons should handle at least 600 rwhp on nitrous before you have to start worrying about the stock crank.

This is just what I want to do. How much will the stock crank hold?
Opps just seen what you wrote about the crank. I was reading this as my boss was talking to me.

I'm oretty sure ARE stocks the pistons and rods for many LS1 combinations. I am nearly certain they stock many pistons in 3.905 (.005 over). Call Nick and talk to him.

I assume you are also doing pistons Rick. I'd get both the pistons and rings from the same source.

ARE gets my vote because they stock so much stuff.
