Prepping a junk yard LQ4 for nitrous
I recently picked up an LQ4 with probably 130,000+ miles on it. My plan is to throw on a set of 243's, LS6 intake and custom grind cam. I will be putting on a plate kit and spraying about 200hp on the stock bottom end through a TH400. The car is a 3rd gen Camaro and will have a race weight of about 3600lbs.
What do you guys think I should do to the bottom end for some cheap insurance? Maybe rod bolts? Leave it alone and let it ride?

I was planning on just head bolts instead of studs. I think they are about $120 or so.
I've seen my fair share of back fires on LS6's and they all seem to blow out the rear. Hopefully I never see a back fire, lol. Especially with a fiberglass cowl.
