NA rod strength
I'm doing some major upgrades on my 92 F250: GTX3582 turbo, studs, intercooler, 110 pump and stage one injectors. From what I've read this should put me in the 300-350 horsepower range and over 700 ft lbs torque. I'm nervous about the stock NA bottom end though. Are the stock NA rods capable of holding this kind of power reliably? I'm way over budget on this project already so I can't afford to start over with a turbo bottom end, but I don't want it self destructing after spending all this time and money on it either. Is anyone else running this kind of setup and power on a stock NA bottom end? Would I be safer dropping back to a 90cc pump?

I've talked to both Justin and Wes about this, both basically said 350whp is the safe limit. Justin's rods didn't go until well over 400whp. Stock bottom end.
I just got done with a motor build and plan on going with the 130 pump. There's a few users here with the 110 pump. Hairyboxnoogle is one of them, think macrobb also has one.
