Default safe for a 200 shot?
Well I just bought a motor and it needs to be rebuilt so I was thinking about putting some diamond pistons and some arp rod bolts(the better ones) in the stock rods along with using the stock crank. Would this be safe for a regular use of a 150-175 shot with the occasional 200 shot for the track/dyno?

Why not go with forged rods while it's apart?

I have a friend who shot 350 to a stock long block ls1. So 150-200 would be fine, just as long as you tune it right for the spray.
