GOT A SET OF D6VE-AA TRUCK RODS AND I WANT TO CHANGE THE ROD BOLTS. ARP OFFERS 2 DIFFERENT FOOTBALL ROD BOLT GRADES AND I DONT KNOW WHICH TO GET FOR MY APPLICATION. HERES SOME ENGINE SPEC'S.
10:1 OR LESS COMPRESSION
SMALLEST FRPP HYD. CAM SHAFT
CJ ALUMINUM HEADS
CAST PISTONS
ROTATEING ASSY WILL BE BALANCED
GOING IN PERFORMANCE SKI BOAT
MAX RPM'S WILL BE 6K
DO I NEED THE STANDARD ARP 150-6004 BOLTS OR SHOULD I GET THE WAVE LOCK BOLTS ?
THANKS

I ran the factory bolts in my 460 turmimg it 6500 never had a problem out of them but a up grade will help you sleep better

THANKS SURE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE FEEDBACK ON THIS.

You mean you have crappy cast pistons and you are worried about rod bolt turning to 6000 RPM whats wrong with this picture?

stock rods just plain work to 6500 7000 and 500hp and less

you smart enough to run your car as fast as you can type, or do you just like to think people are stupid with nothing to back it up? Truck rods and stock pistons are fine for his application. If his tune is good its fine. If not it doesn't matter what his piston is made of.

BARNEY,
You hit the nail on the head. all I do is pul my friends sking ( all of them at 1 time alot hehe)

i'd put the arp bolts in and let it eat. the cast pistons will stand anything but detonation so go easy on the timing.

yea that dreaded spark knock will kill any engine. i figure 93 pure gas (no alky) and ave gas 50/50 mix should do the trick. I was going to buy forged pistons with the raised comp. i,d have to run 100% ave gas and since its just a fun boat i decided against it.
thanks everybody, the more minds the better most of the time.

WELL if GOD says it is then it is probably written in stone somewhere and we know it is, So why do they sell you all these aftermarket rods and forged pistons, seems like a big waste buying them if stock rods and cast pistons will handle anything like you said......?

If it was mine I'd spend the extra few bucks on some hbeams and a decent set of forged slugs, but if you already have the stuff run it they will work, just watch the tune and keep a voodoo doll with you when you crank it up.

your a fool. A pumpgas build at 6k max will be fine.of course h beams would be better. That wasn't the question in the place..I love how you act like everyone's a idiot when you ain't got shit...

EASE UP FELLAS, WERE ALL PALS, I KNOW WHEN MORE IS NEEDED ROD AND PISTON WISE FROM 45 YRS BUILDING AND WORKIN ON ENGINES. I JUST NEEDED A LITTLE HELP PICKING ROD BOLTS.
