How much HP can a LB9 handle before forged parts are needed?
I'm just wondering how much power I can get from my LB9 before I need to upgrade the rods and pitsons to forged parts? Someone told me it should be ok upto 400bhp, is this accurate?

I like to think of her as Arnold Schwartzeneger in a dinner suit
Mods
Custom exhaust. 4 Inch pipe from the headders all the way back to a single muffler at the rear. No Cat. K&Ns, AFPR and Air foil.
Future mods:
Cam change
New torque converter
New heads (maybe corvette L98)
Strut brace
Sub frame connectors
Ram Air
Current G-Tech times
0-60mph 6.26 seconds
1/4 14.74@100.2mph
