Opinion of stock Chevy rod Strength
 

Any thoughts on the stock big block Mag rod strength considering arp bolts, resizing, and balancing? Assuming 6K rpm max and under 7 psi boost?

The dimple rods are 4340 forgings. They will take a tremdous amount of power with those huge bolts that come with them. I've got customers with 800HP blower engines in marine use using them and I have customers with 8400rpm pull truck engines with multiple seasons on them with no broken rods.

High Chris,
I dynoed my motor yesterday and Its making all of that. I need to detune it. I am kinda looking for someone that has run their motor with a known torque curve that has run for lets say for a couple years. How much to detune is the question.

Ask Strippoker.
He has some supercharged 500EFIs making big power for a few of years now.

I know a couple of engine builders in our area who have been around for a long, long time that have NEVER seen a GM rod fail. There are a lot of people boating here with 8-900hp with blown 502's with stock rods and no problems...The cranks will go before the rods at these power levels..:drink:

So at 5250 rpm the Hp and torque are the same that means they will or should do 850ft lbs. Thats good.

GMPP rule of thumb....700HP or less.
