can ls rods handle the boost?

i have heard they are good to upwards of 280+ hp but i would stop testing them at around 200-220 whp otherwise they might let go and take some other thing with them. of course these were all upgraded with arp con rod bolts.
 
A guy I know that is running 10psi on the street spiked close to 25psi on a homemade boost controller at the track on a stock LS bottom end. Thats with the .63 a/r that comes with the Drag3 kit. He melted pistons but his rods didn't give out. I'd shotpeen them at least if you were planning on a serious build tho.
 
ive seen 'em break at 200,
i've seen 'em hold 400

its luck and tuning really
