What do you guys thing this bottom end can handle?

Iron 408 LS1, Forged eagle crank and forged eagle H beams, ARP mains, Forged Diamond pistons, can't remember the rings but the owner of the motor sprayed a 100 shot on it a few times and said its built to handle A LOT of nitrous. I am sure I will also put ARP head studs in it.

Would a 400 threw two stages and maybe a progressive be safe on 110?

Or should I stick with a 300 threw a progressive?

think youll just have to work your way up watchin the plug and doing leakdown test, just check things...

Ive been told that the eagle rods were strong, but anything above 700hp watchout. I went with callies whcih are supposedly good for 800hp, just extra insurance. Another thing to consider is ring gap. The ring gap must be larger for larger shots of nitrous. My mahle piston rings reccomended a decent size larger for anything over 150, but under 150 it was a little smaller.

Looking at about 535rwhp all motor. Would like to spray at least a 200 shot on it.

At that level lifting heads and pushing water become concerns, just do your home work. Check out the recent 500 shot thread for insight.

here is my .02$

look at what your rods are rated at....thats prolly flywheel ratings. dont go much over that. also since you dont know what your rings are gapped at play it safe. i also have MAHLE pistons and when i set my ring gap i used there settings and made up my own since i knew i was gonna go from 200-300 shot.

since you dont know id play it safe and not go much over a 200 shot but you in the end have to do what you want........ just remember when it blows theres noone to be mad at but yourself....this is what i had to remeber when my stock short block went south...
good luck

Yeah I am thinking a 200 threw a progressive at most. Rings are Diamond Pro select Rings.

That's it? Heck, a stock shortblock handles a 150hp shot easily. Why would a forged bottom end like this be so weak? That's not even worth building!

yea 200 shot will be fine i spry a 300 shot on my built 408 but most of the time i will just spray 1 stage its a 100 shot my 408 w a 100 shot made 667rw and 665tq if i need more i will just spray the other stage

I dunno which eagle h beam rods you are running.. but the motor Eastside built for me was originally gonna see a TON of nitrous, enough to go into the 8's... which takea over 1000 hp....... and they weren't at the least bit concerned about using them.

I think alot depends on what type N20 system you are using. Wet shot, dry shot, direct port, MAF plate, carb plate? Even distribution is key to using N20 on any motor forged or not.

ya, before i got my eagle h-beams, i did a search, and they seem like they can take the task on of holding a very large shot, i think the pistons are more of a concern than the eagle rods when it comes to very large shots

Nice numbers on your dual stage. I made 665rwtq (my dual stage) on my bonestock longblock ls6 (your 1st stg numbers). I am looking at doing a 408 right now. Could you post your engine specs, as I like your results.

I think a properly set-up 408 could take a 300rwhp shot all day, at least that's my plan to start off with if I go 408. A 400 shot, uhmmmm, probably ok also if everything is built from the get go with this size in mind.

Factoring in the fact that it will be making at least 525rwhp all motor.......

Not sure on the N20 setup if it will take a lot I will go DP.

Do you guys think a plate system would be safe for a 300?

Looked in the summit mag and it said the H-Beams with upgraded bolts will handle 1,000+ In the pics below it has an I on the rods but they look a lot more like H beams.

It has the 8740 rod bolts in it http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...Picture193.jpg

He said it has about 4k miles or less on it

Straight from eagle
ARP 7/16" 8740 Capscrew bolts standard (190,000 psi) unless otherwise noted. Optional ARP 2000 (230,000 psi) and ARP L-19 (265,000 psi) bolts for extreme horsepower applications. L-19 bolts are recommended for small block engines exceeding 700 horsepower and big block engines exceeding 850 horsepower.

With that kind od miles on the short block do you think it would be safe to upgrade to ARP 2000's and not worry about it? IE holes being out of round and stuff?
