Default Wrist Pin Question

I'm looking into connecting rods for my LS6 build, and I was just wondering what the benefit is (if in) in between the .927 & .944 wrist pin?

Also can I go with the 6.125 over the 6.100..

Also should I beam rods be strong enough for a 200 shot at max?

If this is a N/A motor, I would use a .927 pin and a 6.125 rod imo. Some guys with LARGE N20 and BOOSTED motor applications like the heavier/thicker pins for added strength and a shorter rod to keep the compresion height down, to allow for more material in the upper ringland area. But for your setup, I think .927/6.125 will be fine. Just make sure you purchase "quality parts", diamond/mahle pistons and compustar/eagle rods.

What about Scat?

It's gonna be a Stock bore LS6 with some 5.3 heads and not a huge shot of N20, also not a massive cam. Maybe a TR224

Not a fan of Scat. Buy a mahle piston power pak setuo and a set of eagle rods, machine it, balance it and go spray it.
