I would change the rods if you are planning on spinning it above 7000RPM or using a power adder. As far as piston selection do you mean .030" over? The maximum safe overbore on a 2000 or newer LS1/LS6 block is .010".

Personally, I would call Nick or Barry at ARE, but others will advise you to call Jason (or other) at MTI.

I know ARE carries Lunati rods, Ross Pistons (usually come with Total Seal rings), bearings, heads, everything you need.

You can only go .010 over without resleeving the block. If you do that, you might as well go big bore and make a 393 or something like that.
