Default BBC Rods

I have a 468 with a GM forged steel crank,TRW .500 domed pistons and 3/8 rods that have had the beams polished,floated and ARP rod bolts installed.The engine will have a rons toilet running alcohol.What RPM limit will I be at? I know these pistons are VERY heavy.I also know that the alcohol will add more stress.Should I just change to a 7/16 rod or bite the bullit and buy aftermarket rods. The car this engine will be in is a 83 camaro backhalf that weighs 3200#,glide,12 bolt 5.13gears and a 31/14.15 tire.Any help will be GREATLY appreciated! THANKS Nick
