I have head of some people turning the stocker to 8000rpm and it surving through a seasion.I dont know if I would have really trusted that,but its possable I know that.
I would say,its good to 500hp,and 6500rpm no problem.
600hp or over 7000rpm would probably be a when will it break kinda thing.

We were doing that with stock rods (with ARP bolts) and KB hyperutectic pitions also.
As long as its balanced and built right,it will stand up just fine (as long as its not terrably out of tune of course,detonation will kill any motor).
86bluecobra said:yikes venom stock rods? well i guess the fact that you had hyper pistons maybe thats why it all worked? correct me if i am wrong but hyper's are lighter then forged pistons. If people are going to use forged pistons then i was unger the impression it is a good idea to upgrade the rods due to the fact of the increased wieght of the slugs.
