con rods

depends on the revs you use really though. If you could keep peak power under 7k and didn't rev much past that, the rods would probably last a while. End of the day though, they're quite flimsy and it's not expensive to get quite reasonable quality reliable replacements. Cheaper to upgrade than to start from scratch when you throw a rod through the block lol
Good luck!

Id go with good faith and a fire extinguisher
300 bhp N/A sounds like a dream. How will you achieve this? I recon youll need about 70bhp of nos on a very highly modded car. Expect a catestrophic engine failure soon. Nos is a great thing but only when its set up well. I think a large shot of nos will destroy the engine. It needs to be a forged engine to take the abuse.
why are you aiming for 300bhp? 230bhp would be very quick and can be achieved with little engine risk.
300bhp is going to cost alot to achieve.

he already has ITBs, Omex, cams and headwork, all that's lacking from the normal F4R N/A tuning route really is high compression pistons and forged rods

well it sounds quite sorted then. What power does it produce just now?
once the engine can cope with the nos and its all fitted im sure it will be great. may pose a threat to the gearbox and diffs though
Anyone have any stories of how long cars last with large shots of nos?
everyone i know using it well and for long periods has used it on turbo cars with about 25bhp shots progressively. Two guys i know using big nos shots blew thier engines (pulsar -forged engine and impreza- standard internals) so ive always been a chicken to use nos.
