What is the max rpm everyone is revving ls rods with arp bolts?

 

i took mine to 9k all the time

 

Mine have seen a 9200 rpm rev limit numerous times at the track.

 

wow. I must be underestimating these oem rods

Any body think we'll have trouble with these holding up to a set of pro2's with 12.0:1 compression?

 

No problem there. Sounds like your build is similar to a user on here named D-Rob. Check out some of his posts.

 

8500 on my ls. dyno it and see where it stops making power. no point in reving the **** out of it if there nothing to be had.

 

my rev limiter is @ 9k, nock on wood

Don't worry, I know where these cams make their power as we have done several builds with them, but those were all using aftermarket rods. I just need around 9.1-9.2k of rpm available and want to see what kind of abuse people have been getting away with using ls rods.

So everyone vouches that they'll hold up?

 

look up user backdraft.. he was running them to 9500 all day long.. 11.96 @ 112 in the 1/4 mile

oem build 1.8

 

i reved my old setup to 9200 and it was fine for 2 years . it usaully not the rod itself that gives up its the bearing or rod bolts can stretch if there oem.

 

9600 on a raceday

 

with rod bolts you should be fine.

 

would not hurt to have them shotpeened if you can.

 

Honda Racing uses stock LS rods with ARP rod bolts in their 2.4l V8's , they take them to 19k ALL DAY with no problems! Just make sure you have a good tuner, and youll be ok!

I believe LS rods are shotpeened from the factory

 

tuning is not an issue as we tune here at the shop

Thanks for all your input everyone. I will keep you guys posted on how it turns out.

9400 at the track. Car has a couple of hundred all motor passes on it and about 15 on the bottle. No issues at all and I DD the car as long as it's not raining.

 

what about a stock lsv w/bolt ons and arp rod bolts. is 8500 good or 9k will be fine

 

to projectef:
just dyno it and see where u powerband drops out. if u dont make any power above 8500 than dont rev above 8500. its a simple as that. everyone here is saying that they hold up to 9+ so i dont think u would have a problem. DYNO it and see where ur making ur power.
