It pairs Texas Speed 6.125\" Super H-Beam connecting rods with JE forged pistons that are made to run with the factory LT1 crankshaft without balancing, so the short block can be rebuilt with forged internals while the stock crank stays in the engine. Rod bearings and a file-fit ring set ship with the kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe JE piston is a -6cc flat top with an exhaust valve relief cut for the variable valve timing used on the Gen V engines, a 1.300\" compression height and a .927\" wrist pin. The rods are heat-treated, stress-relieved 4340 steel with ARP L19 bolts, honed after a torque and stress-relief cycle so they stay round in service, and Texas Speed rates them for upwards of roughly 900 rear-wheel horsepower on this combo. Clearances must be checked by the builder before final assembly, and blocks with piston oil squirters may need clearancing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: GM 6.2L Gen V LT1 with the stock LT1 crankshaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePistons: JE forged, 4.065\" bore, -6cc flat top with exhaust valve relief for VVT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression height: 1.300\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStroke: 3.622\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrist pin diameter: .927\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRings: File-fit ring set included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting rods: Texas Speed 6.125\" Super H-Beam, heat-treated and stress-relieved 4340 steel, set of 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRod bolts: ARP L19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRod rating: Upwards of approximately 900 rear-wheel horsepower per Texas Speed, build dependent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRod bearings: Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalancing: Not required with JE LT1 pistons, TSP H-Beam rods and the stock GM LT1 crank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional add-on: GM main bearing set (GM-12729655)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKit Includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJE forged 4.065\" -6cc flat top no-balance piston set for the LT1 (JEP-TSP374237)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTexas Speed 6.125\" Super H-Beam connecting rods with ARP L19 bolts, no-balance set of 8 (TSP-6125SHB-8-NB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRod bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFile-fit piston ring set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGM main bearing set (GM-12729655), only if selected at ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrdering Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pistons, rods, rod bearings and ring set are always included.
