Default What pistons/rods for n20?

Yeah I have a stock ls6 motor excpet for ms3 cam,headers,cai,ud pulley,150 wet plate system. I would like to be able to run a 200 shot safely(key word safely) or more. What pistons/rods would work well and would support a lot of n20? Thanks.

Wont I have to get the rotating assembly balanced after installing the rods/pistons? Also, how much rwhp is the stock ls6 crank good for?

im going to do it on stock pistons and rods

i think your rods should be fine for 200. you would probably only need pistons. but while you are in there might as well replace your rods if you have money. expecialy if you want to shoot more

On a car running 200 or less making a total of 600 or less hp the egle h-beams should be fine. anything over that i would recomend a lunati pro mod rod, they are a better over all rod. little more $$ but better. i never hurt one in 3 years of running from 700- this season making around 900-1000

a few cars we have done with egle and have not had an issue but they are in the 500-600 range. my buddies stang we did was in the 900 range and first pass out this season with h-beem eagle about 500 feet out he put a rod right threw the oil pan, and bent 3 others!!!

as for pistions, i ran dimond with the big rings, hell fire rings, and coated the tops.

good luck
