LT1 Rods, Centrifugal Blower?
Stock LT1 rods & aftermarket pistons with a centrifugal blower street roll racing (NO TRACK & NO DIGS), wheres this setup going to live until power and RPM wise?
Will a Callies Compstar H-Beam or similarly priced H beam add strength if so wheres this setup going to live until power and RPM wise?

On the 1st with stock rods would say safe 700 to 750.
A few miss gears & to long in the red something will go sooner are later man..

I run stock rods in my LT1, and forged pistons, (11.5:1) and im at 850whp. I do digs, rolls, track, etc. have 3000 hard miles on it since the rebuild. The rods are good up to about 900-1000 wheel.
RPM depends on many things. Stick with stock RPM limits unless you got all ARP studs and bolts, and an upgraded valvetrain..
