2005 2.5 SC OB

Default Vortech supercharger for ~500whp? Si Too big?

Been waiting a while for my custom 8 rib Off the front SC pulley which is now in transit.

So here is a question , being that my SC setup doesn’t make that much torque will 251 (basically ej205 rods) rods hold up to say 300 plus ft lb ? The only reason I ask is that JE forged pistons for 251 rods are quite reasonable. I can get a set of pistons for just over $500.

A 251 SHortblock with the JE forged 8.5:1 pistons, stock rods and ARP rod studs fully balanced just over $2000. Just an option.

Looks like k1 makes 131.5mm rods too, which can be had for under $300.
