Default Stock LS2 Fastener Strength

What are the accepted limits of the OEM fasteners in a low-mile LS2 application?


Will the OEM rod bolts hold 800WHP? OEM main cap fasteners?


At what level would you upgrade rod bolts to ARP and the lower end to ARP studs?


Thank you in advance!

At that power level I would worry about your pistons and rods. You can hit that power level but your on barrowed time with a stock bottom end.
