Rods are good for about 200hp, so figure how ever much psi it would take to go from 130 to 200.

most I've seen is 350 on a stock d-series block with forged internals, since the zc is a d-series block I would think the same.

yeah, that's the safe limit with stock internals, but the internals aren't stock, only the sleeves.
