How necessary to install forged rods over 350 WHP

Questions for the evo gurus
is it too common to bend a rod past 350 WHP on a VII, VIII or a IX evo????
is it safe or it's better changing them if you want that or more power???
ohhh, one more thing, how about the pistons???? how many HP's can them hold???
Waiting for answeres.
Thanks.

A stock 4g63 will typically not have any problems with 400-500 HP, unless you suck at tuning or if the engine has a ton of miles.

Stock rods are fine at 550whp. Whoever or wherever told you 350hp will bend mitsubishi stock rods has no clue and you should be skeptical of everything from that source.

You can probably kill the rods at stock HP if you try revving to 9000+ rpm regularly and you can easily grenade the pistons at stock whp with too little fuel and too much timing, but if you have a sensible rev limit and a good tune, you can easily do 350 whp on the stock motor.

Many people push it over 500. 350 isnt much more than stock
