Default All motor / nitrous - connecting rod strength

I am looking at ZPI head, bolt ons, and 11:1 pistons. Of course, all the necessary accessories will be included (head gasket, bolts, bearings, etc) - but when nitrous is added, what becomes the weak point? I am debating if I want to invest in non-stock connecting rods if they are needed. I want around 200whp all motor and about 300whp [100 shot] on n2o- shot I look at connecting rods?

Better safe then sorry. But you wont be able to do it through ZPI any longer. There no longer an option.

well, you can get the rods and pistons and head studs from turbokits since they aren't zpi parts, but i don't think they can get you any zpi kits unless they actually have them stocked, which i'm not sure if they do.
