i'm in the process of having my motor rebuilt, i have trw forged pistons, arp rod bolts, stock crank, ported & polished heads, molly rings, all new bearings (cam,rod, crank), CC 224 230 extreme cam... now my ? is how much N20 can i run and what is the weaklink in the bottom end.... thanks

 

anyone...

btw its on a stock bore... got the pistons CHEAP....

 

i would do 150-175, thats just me

 

I would buy some eagle I beams for 300 and then the hit a 250 with a progressive controller. The rods will fail way before the crank. The stock rods have seen good numbers from several members but in your setup they are the weak point. You may not have to stop at a 250 with eagle rods. Talk to a nitrous guy, they'll give real advice.(n20 section)

 

...unless you were blessed with the PM rods rumored to be on earlier LT1s.

 

PM rods????

 

Dam, if he could spray 200ish with stock crank and Ibeam rods, what could you spray with 4boltmain, 6" Hbeams, 3.75" 4340 crank, -16cc srp .030 forged pistons
