Is a 200 Shot to much for a arp rod bolted bottom end?

Kinda pushing the reliability of the pistons there.

What's the rest of the setup?

Yeah we need more info on the setup a 200shot is a hefty shot

I wouldn't spray flycut stock pistons with 200 but that's up to you. Now, if my pistons weren't flycut I'd do it in a heartbeat. It's totally up to you...Just realize that the short block isn't built for it and how badly will it hurt your pocketbook if you detonate a piston? ALSO it has a lot to do with how safe the tune is. If you do spray that large of a shot make sure to use a wideband and tune it safe. Learn to read plugs and start out on a 100 shot.

ummm..... i've sprayed a 200 on my stock rod bolted bottom end 5.3 spinning 6500 no issues *knocks on wood. hell i've went 250 with no problems, just research and learn the ways to keep it alive.

They're stock non fly cut pistons. Gonna have a BTR Stage 4 Cam, Ported 243s, BBK SSI intake, 85MM Throttlebody, and 1 7/8 Primary long tubes.

save ur money on the intake and throttle body... just buy a ls6 intake and run stock throttle body.. ive gone 9.9 cam only with stock intake and throttle body on a 150 shot. I still have room in the tune as the converter is wrong for the combo and the AFR is around 11

Not to pirate the thread but what is your race weight?

Trey sprays 250 on his cammed 5.3, we also had one of our other guys spray 300 on an ls1 with rod bolts and pistons. Would like to get some info on the rest of your setup like others mentioned, but it should not be an issue. Will wait for your reply.

I think I'm going a different route.

Thank you for the help though. I may be in contact. I'm still on the fences.

Not sure to be honest. I took weight out but also put weight back in it with th400 and fab 9. If I had to guess 3300 with half tank of fuel nitrous bottles etc etc. I still have stock front suspension besides strange double adjustable coilovers. I'm going to scale the car in the next few weeks.. I'll let you know if your still interested
