Connecting rods for forced induction stroker LS2:
I have a Vortech supercharged LS2 in my 2005 M6. This summer I picked up a used Callie's Compstar 4.0" stroker crank at a nice price. I know that the stock pistons tend to fail over time with boost, perhaps from detonation r or fatigue. Since I have the stroker crank, I figure I'll upgrade the pistons to dished forged aluminum pistons to lower compression a bit and be able to take more boost. I think this combination will make between 675-725 rwhp. My question is should I upgrade the connecting rods for this power lever? should i go with forged aftermarket rods?. What power level are the stock LS2 and stock Z06 connecting rods good for?
If I use the Titanium Z06 rods, will I still be able to have the rotating assembly (with the 4.0" stroker LS Compstar crank) balanced or are the Z06 rods only compatible with Z06 crank?
