What is the highest horsepower that people have run using 2G pistons? Doesn't matter what rods they used, we all know the stock 2G rods kinda suck.

That's the info I'm looking for. I don't care how much the 1G big rods can hold. I've heard before 450-500HP for the 2G pistons. 98TsiAWD, I read that thread and there's tons of info in there about forged pistons and piston slap, but not much about the 2G pistons. I'm thinking about just putting some Eagle rods in my motor that's in the car now, but that's only if the compression is really good and there's no excessive crankplay. So that will end up being pretty cheap for a nice strong motor, just hopefully the CW will stay away!

Well for me it's either gonna be put in some Eagle rods and pray that I don't get CW for about a year or 2. Or I'm gonna do a built 4G64, which will cost me a lot of money, which I would have to find somewhere somehow. I figure if I just put in some rods and run it for a year I'll be ready to go bigger then. Hell if it does CW w/in a year I'll just have to sell the pistons/rods and whatever else I can to get some money back and then do the '64. But I will definitely be measuring crank play before I go any further with this. I'll be running a ported 1G head, web cams, Frank 4, Tial 40mm WG, IRC fmic, DSMLink, and all other supporting mods, so 450-500HP may be a possibility for me
The 91 rod 95 piston motor is a very common rebuild for DSMers.
Arnt the 91 Rods the same as 90 rods

He makes 467hp on a completely stock 91 6bolt motor with HKS 272 cams and Crower springs and retainers as his only engine mod
