Default How good are the stock rods with ARP bolts?

How much HP and TQ can these take? Ill have forged pistons and stock crank. Also have stage 2 heads and a healthy cam on a 346. Maybe some N2O, not sure yet.

I have seen stock rods take over 700 ft lbs of TQ for quite some time, with stock rod bolts. With ARP bolts you should have no worries..

The nitrous part might be a direct port progressive 200 shot. I put a 200 shot on my stock motor and way down the road, my stock motor isnt running anymore <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Never had a problem with the 150 though.

I dynoed the 200 wet once and with a A/F of 9.0+:1 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I put out 691 TQ to the wheels <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
