Will my stock rods hold up?
I am going to have my lt1 rebuilt soon. I am using these pistons http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TRW-8KL2256F30/ along with the stock rods and crank if they turn out to be good. My question is will the stock rods with ARP rod bolts be sufficient for these pistons running a lt4 hot cam and le1 heads?

Re: Will my stock rods hold up?
I don't see why not, but I wonder why you'd even change pistons from stock with a Hotcam + LE1 head setup? Stock components with ARP bolts should be able to handle the RPM and power you'll see with that setup. Assuming your on a budget and the bores/pistons aren't messed up, I'd go with a hone and re-ring...
