Not for long. Matters on what it makes (hp, tq) before the shot.


*AND MAKE ONE TOPIC NOT 10*

whats the limit on 351w rods? wanting around 400hp crank

92civy

just get some forged rods off of ebay.

Man, i am telling you now. if you want to obtain 400 rwhp, then add a shot of 150. Just get some forged rods with arp's. It will save you tons in the long run. I was going to use stock rods on my 357 clevor (400 rwhp also, then spray) i am now saving for forged. Even though i am on a budget. it will save me the cost or rods later, taking the engine out, tearing it apart, replacing any other fugded parts, and replacing the engine. It will have to be ballanced after new rods are put it, so there is more to the total if it snaps.

You decide.

4340 or 5140 forgings

4340 is stronger. But 5140 is better than stock.
