Re: stock pistons rating
Rated for I'm not sure, but you should be fine up to 400 hp.

Re: stock pistons rating
Please use the subforums...
I've heard of 7 bolt stuff being good to around 400 hp but I wouldnt personally push them past about 350. I know guys with 500+ on stock 6 bolts, but I dont think I would push them to more than around 450.

Re: stock pistons rating
2g pistons will take well up to 450hp. Unfortunatly, the rods will be lucky to handle anywhere near 400...

Re: stock pistons rating
Yep in your situation you don't even need to worry about the pistons. As was said above the rods are what would break in that motor first.
A quick fix would be to pick up some 1g rods. And do a minor rebuild.
