If it is a 12 V you can avoid lots of engine damage with timing. Bump the timing up and this will drop the low end TQ which is what helps bend rods.

Also, bring the nitrous in slooowly with a progressive controller to help clip the TQ.

1400 ft lbs and up on a DynoJet is enough to bend rods, but I have seen more and nothing go wrong @ the same time.
