Rods/Pistons for 200-250 shot?

I would like a recommendation for a good rod/piston setup for a stock displacement LS1 with a large shot of nitrous (200-250)? I plan on keeping the stock crankshaft. I presently use 150 (TNT F2) on my stock rods/pistons setup wh no issues. Thank you,

Keep the stock displacement. Any forged piston and forged rod setup will work.

The forged pistons and rods should hold a 250 no problem.

I would call Weber Racing and talk to Leo over there. They build some very sick LS1 Powerplants. See Sig for link

Callies H-Beam rods and Wiseco N2O pistons here. Great products at prices that the average guy can afford.

Thats the exact setup i'm building right now. looking into going up to a 250 shot. I have eagle h-bean rods. diamond pistons -2cc. arp bolts. Like everyone else said, go with anything forged. If your looking at doing it yourself save yourself the hassle and call up one of the sponsors. They will get you hooked up with the setup your looking for.

I ordered all my parts through texas speed. Wish i would have saved myself the time and just ordered a short block and been done with it.
