CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Hp limit of drop in rods and pistons? Cms?

I have spoke with CP (Who makes the rods and pistons in the CMS kit) They said the typical stuff about tune (tuner capability), fuel, ring gap etc. But in the end I was told the rods could support in excess of 1200 horsepower. This has been seen as there are procharged cars making 1000whp+ and as you have stated the pulley is killing power.

I was also informed by CMS that the limit was the main cap, and was informed that they tend to "walk" around 1000whp, but it was not made clear if that was due to additional load place on the snout of the crank due to the supercharger pulley. I am going to contact both CP and CMS today as I am pulling my motor soon to do the cam and add turbo drain bungs. Ill update with what I find out.
