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?

 

all will be fine, but I would use Hellfire rings

 

yeah +2 on the hellfire rings but yeah ull be fine

 

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

 

No need to on this engine. I just want to do a cheap build up on this one until I can finish my other one. Arent hellfire rings bad on the cyl walls?

 

hell if it runs spray 150 to her and see ho w long she'll go

 

well I know a stock motor will take a 150 shot and some have sprayed 200 shots on stock bottom ends...I just wanna do it reliably.

 

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.

 

Damn!!

 

just imagine what a 350 shot feels like......:smoki n2:

and yea you will be fine with a 200
+1 on good, safe tune

 

I'm going to be shootin atleast 175-200 at mine. His car was a 1998 vert LS1 A4.

 

And where did this stock block 350 shot run at? Dyno or road? How many 350 hits did it take?

 

It was actually at the track.

 

i say 5 runs max

 

you people are nuts... you add 100% horsepower in a second.... phyco

 

pill it till ya kill it, build it, then back it down a notch

 

So the general consensus is?

 

it will work with out a problem, as long as the tune for it is good.

 

A 100 shot did mine in...

 

i would just change the rods for more safty
