If you can't afford to do it right the first time then you cant afford to do it twice.
When motors fail they take out other parts to. Crank, heads, piston and so fourth.

So you are not paying for any of the machine work? Then might be worth it. But you only gain a little bit, and risk taking the engine out. IMHO only reason I would do that with LBZ rods is if I hurt the engine, and needed to get it running again but couldn't afford the rods
I was on the fence for a year before I built my engine.
Trust me, you will want more.
I told myself I would not to past 2200Us on 100% injectors. 2 months after the truck was running I have seen 2800Us and nitrous.
Let the truck sit for another few months and get good rods in it.

Correct no cost for labor or machine work. Only looking to make 650-700hp only driven as a toy and race truck. Never will be dd.
I can see reusing the LB7 pistons, but you will have to be really smart with tuning if you use the LBZ rods and will limit yourself. I'm horrible about waiting till I have the cash to do it right, but I would still do a good set of rods so you don't have to think about that every time you romp on it.
How conservative ? I know keeping tq below 1300 is commin. Duramax tuner will be tunning it.
giving him dirt lol literally he needs a bank filled in and i have a huge hill in my back yard so i just take my vback hoe and move some over here and there lol
If its only a toy or race truck, you will even more so want to push the limits. You've already told us what we needed to know. LBZ rods are for a guy looking to just get the damn thing drive able again so a man can get to work.
So what should I be looking at next dual fuelers or a bottle? Billet II s366 60% sticks lbz pump
I understand 100% percent man. Just looking at where I should be going next. Already have all my fasteners, gaskets, turbo, injectors, going to order rods Friday. I have Silver bullet 366 billet wheel, 60% sticks, and a modified lbz cp3 going in. Would I be okay to put a bottle on it?
Turbo is brand new with 0 miles. Pump was worked by Danville performance. How far is my setup going to take me before more fuel is needed.
If danville knew you were running it with 60's than the pump should be fine. 60 overs will carry you well onto the 800's if your pump/pumps can provide enough fuel. So i'll say you'll run out of air before fuel, I dont know how far the 366 will take you though.
