And you just proved my point. 346ci forged rods and pistons vs 346ci napa replacement rods and pistons is what matters here. the cubic inches doesn’t matter what so ever. > > Its like building a DB drag stereo, buying a stock Alpine speaker, pulling the voice coil and magnet assembly out and putting bad ass top of the line stuff in its place. When it hits 170db calling it a stock Alpine speaker diameter record or some shit. > > Like I said, its an impressive car and awesome build/setup… but claiming a record run based on a minuscule detail like “stock cubic inches” takes away from its validity. Why doesn’t cubic inch matter? If it was 420 cubic inches would it be as impressive? And for your stereo comparison hit 170 bd with a 10 inch sub instead of a 15 inch sub. That is kinda the comparison here. Putting aftermarket rods and pistons in it don’t add any hp what so ever it just gives the motor longevity. So if no one has ever taken a ls1(346) on nitrous into the 8’s, stock or modified, and it’s been out since 1998 then clearly it’s not that easy. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/first-ever-ls1-on-nitrous-in-8s/266643)._
