2v stock crank power???

lilmarc1988 · May 9th, 2008, 02:08 AM

whats the limit on the stock crank? i searched for about 10 minutes and came to no conclusion. thanks for any help

MATT02GT · May 9th, 2008, 02:17 AM

pretty sure its about 500. A forged crank would be the best choice for high power

lilmarc1988 · May 9th, 2008, 02:22 AM

kool thanks man. i thought for some reason it would hold around the same as the block

Drgnracin72 · May 9th, 2008, 06:16 AM

itll hold upwards of 600, but your pushing it past that. if you can afford it, go forged

I've been running 550/700 through mine and that's off of a hard nitrous hit.

Just something i heard, never seen, or experienced personally, but.... I've read/heard that at the limits of the stock crankshaft it can flex under the high load and badly ruin bearings... is this correct?

lilmarc1988 · May 9th, 2008, 03:21 PM

i was just wondering because cms has this kit with pistons and rods for like 1200 or so and all the rings that will push like 650-700hp. but they have another1 with a cobra crank for 1800. so im thinking of going this way instead of a new short block. dont hav anyplace to put the shortblock so ima take my car to a shop and get this done

03_StangGuy · May 9th, 2008, 03:48 PM

I dunno ur mods but the rear end starts breakin around 400 hp if your hookin well.

lilmarc1988 · May 9th, 2008, 03:59 PM

i already know what to do with the rear end.

00vabchgt · May 9th, 2008, 07:47 PM

spend the cash now and get a forged crank, too...

lilmarc1988 · May 10th, 2008, 08:03 AM

just to be sure the stock block can hold 800 hp right?

Doc8224 · May 10th, 2008, 12:06 PM

Yea the block will hold that easily. But your tranny will not hold 800. I would say if you need a forged crank for your power plans you need to add a built tranny to the list as well.
