to answer the question, the rods start acting up around 400. You should be fine between 300 ~ 350.

A good stock ka with good tune and dont drive it into the ground every sec your driving should put 300whp down pretty nicely after that that the ring lands go out around 330-375whp,rods seem to give out about 370whp ish (known to handel more but that what i would call the stoping ponit) the HG has seen 500whp

I think thats all good info don't you guys.

Okay thats plenty for this thread. Locking it before it turns into a complete crapfest.

morpheus78, look in the stickied thread up top of the forum that says LOOK HERE FIRST, in there is a whole section of links to posts about what different stock KA parts can handle.
