NeverEnuff · February 10th, 2009, 10:08 PM

Whatever you want to throw at it.

Skinnywhiteguy223 · February 10th, 2009, 10:12 PM

750 rwhp?

Skinnywhiteguy223 · February 10th, 2009, 10:14 PM

that would make it close to 800 to the crank right?

Boostang · February 10th, 2009, 10:16 PM

it'll be a little more aroung 820 to the crank..
and about 800 to the f-wheel!

Skinnywhiteguy223 · February 10th, 2009, 10:18 PM

would the stock crank hold up tho.... tryin to save a little money here lol

zigbigadoru · February 10th, 2009, 10:35 PM

yea it will hold a crap ton. no need to bother going forged unless your pushing over 1000+ hp

Skinnywhiteguy223 · February 10th, 2009, 10:38 PM

well it is the forged steel crank so... sounds like a winner ... saves me a crap load....now to just get this one checked out.... the motor only had 55k miles on it but im being really cautious got the block checked and everything too

Im doing 600+ on 15psi. turned it up at the track to 17psi spiking 19-20psi. I still have the stock CAST crank in mine. As long as it isn't being grunted and dogged at the track and pushed hard...you will be fine. ON the street, that HP level a cast crank would work. Im proof...

Skinnywhiteguy223 · February 10th, 2009, 10:49 PM

well u see i dont want to have to be worried about it .... if i want to run it hard i dont want to be letting off the throttle ..... lol

NeverEnuff · February 10th, 2009, 10:54 PM

I don't.

Just that the street is easier on parts cause it isn't dead hooking and lugging the motor down low. There is much less stress on parts in the upper RPM range than off the line digging and hooking...

Skinnywhiteguy223 · February 10th, 2009, 11:10 PM

yeah u got a point .... i know its crazy and u probally wont hear this from anyone else but ill probally run it at the track only once ..... im goin after the vettes and ricers
