Pistons Rods


If I want to upgrade my pistons and rods to withstand a good shot of nitrous - 150rwhp shot - what would be a good company to buy from?

Is this the only thing that needs to be upgraded besides colder spark plugs?

Are the heads in danger if I use nitrous? I will have everything tuned at the dyno.

Will I have to upgrade the fuel pump?

I will probably be buying nitrous next month so any input would be helpful. Thanks!

you should probably just call someplace like www.livernoismotorsports.com

they will be able to answer these questions better than most anyone on here can. there would be many factors to how much power a stroker motor would put out. a big one would be how much compression you would have. will you be SC'ed later or just N/A

if you are going to replace your pistons and rods with forged parts, might as well do the whole rotational assembly and get a forged crank as well...
