i think in my mind our rods are strong enough, but no one has truly tested the car yet, i tihnk thers like 2 running lsj's that have dyno's to show past 300 whp but both of them no one has really been around, but being forged from factory i think we shoould be good for around 500 to 550 whp, pistons id suggest diamond, its what i went with, hoping for the best out of them , also i think going with arp studs for whole motor is great idea, one it makes it way stronger, and will aid in the life of the rods and crank , less stretch = less play= more fun

so with the diamond would you go with moly or ceramic? because they both have there ups and downs

i wnet with ceramice but id do both, but for some odd reason the coatings is actually whats holding my pistons up, so yah, lol, but oing a ceramic top and moly sides would be great
