Any thoughts on the stock big block Mag rod strength considering arp bolts, resizing, and balancing? Assuming 6K rpm max and under 7 psi boost?

The dimple rods are 4340 forgings. They will take a tremdous amount of power with those huge bolts that come with them. I've got customers with 800HP blower engines in marine use using them and I have customers with 8400rpm pull truck engines with multiple seasons on them with no broken rods.

High Chris,
I dynoed my motor yesterday and Its making all of that. I need to detune it. I am kinda looking for someone that has run their motor with a known torque curve that has run for lets say for a couple years. How much to detune is the question.

I know a couple of engine builders in our area who have been around for a long, long time that have NEVER seen a GM rod fail. There are a lot of people boating here with 8-900hp with blown 502's with stock rods and no problems...The cranks will go before the rods at these power levels..
