Negative effects of using GSR length rods on an LS crank?
Trying to set up my LS for turbo, sleeved, bored, lots of boost, the whole nine. Trying to figure out a decent crank/rod/piston set up.
Rod stroke and piston speed is apparently an issue for the LS crank, so one option is to use GSR length rods on the LS crank, and use forged pistons that will match those rods. Would there be any negative effects of a set up like this? Anything to watch out for? Any other suggestions? I dont want to use a different crank, if it comes down to that then Ill just get a different block which I dont want to do.

How complicated is it to get a custom piston like that? will they know what I need if I tell them Im using GSR length rods on an LS crank? or will I have to provide them with specs or measurements?

If you get ls rods theyve got a process called shotpeening, it makes them more durable at higher rpms. Some people say you don't need to do it with the stronger rod bolts, but better safe than sorry IMO
