how much can l92 rods handle? i plann o build in a 370 shortblock with ported l92 heads and a tvs1900.. I want to make around 550 to 600 rwhp. I have a stock l92 crankshaft that i plann on using, i also have the rods, can i just use those with arp bolts or should i dish out for the forged rods?

I was going to build a boost motor and did quite a bit of research on this. The consensus on the info I found seemed to say that 550 rwhp was about the safe limit for stock LS1/LQ9 type builds. Seeing as L92 rods and bottom end are stronger I'd say your safe with those goals
BUT....
Once you add boost the temptation to crank it up and go for more becomes very tempting and if you can afford it why not forge it so your future power levels are much much easier and safer to obtain?
