408 Scat Stroker Kits

Yeah, most of the guys I race with that have 4" crank small blocks are at max HP by 6200-6800. No reason to spin it higher...that is the main benefit to the 4" crank, big power at a lower RPM. My current motor pulls hard to my self imposed red line of 7000 (I have a rev limiter at 7), but there is probably no reason to go over 6500...my old 410 stroker ran the same ET shifting between 6000 and 6500.

Not to hijack, but this thread has pretty much changed my mind on using the forged crank. If the cast crank from scat is a little lighter and is close to $500 cheaper, and I don't plan on ever going over 6500 rpm or 500 HP, I guess I should go with the cast? I'm probably gonna be around 425-450 HP on a 408 from the components I'm looking at I think..
