Will a cast crankshaft handle about 10-12 of boost or should I go with the forged one. Thanks
That’s up to you, and your goals.Should I go stroker or standard?
Not criticizing you but why? Anything you do to make more power NA is better under boost. More cubic=inches more torque sooner.I don't know a lot about boost but I wouldn't want to boost a stroker. I'd have to ask a buddy who tractor/truck pulls.
The theory is that strokers put more stress on the main webbing in the block so adding boost just magnifies the chances of failure.Not criticizing you but why? Anything you do to make more power NA is better under boost. More cubic=inches more torque sooner.
If I was working with a budget I’d use a stock magnum crank. They have been proven to handle significant power in turbo applications(700+). Otherwise I agree forged is best. If it comes down to money, spend your money on a good set of forged pistons first.Will a cast crankshaft handle about 10-12 of boost or should I go with the forged one. Thanks
I would agree with that, kind of. My argument would be, any time you make more power you put more stress on the webbing of the block. Boost is just cylinder pressure and should be seen as such. Nothing more. You don’t hear arguments of “compression puts more stress on the webbing of strokers”.The theory is that strokers put more stress on the main webbing in the block so adding boost just magnifies the chances of failure.
On the other hand strokers tend to have less TDC piston dwell making them less prone to detonation.
I was looking at rotating assemblies. Which is better scat or eagle. ThanksI vote forged, build it right the first time, that way if you want more boost later you won't have to rebuild it again later.Which
Before you buy, be sure to give the Molnar dealer on FABO @PROSTOCKTOM a chance to quote you a price on a rotating assembly.I was looking at rotating assemblies. Which is better scat or eagle. Thanks
Thanks for posting about prostocktom had a brain fart about who was the dealer on this forum lolBefore you buy, be sure to give the Molnar dealer on FABO @PROSTOCKTOM a chance to quote you a price on a rotating assembly.

Thanks for the reply. The engine is a 360 magnum still in the planning phase. This is a street strip car mostly street. I have a set of Edelbrock heads for a magnum engine. Would like to stay with pump gas. What compression should I be looking at. Thanks againAt that amount of boost your just rolling the dice on a cast crank. Basically you've pulled the pin out of the grande and the only thing holding the handle down is a piece of Scotch tape. It's going let loose at some point, but you just won't know when. It really is matter of how long you want it to last and the budget you have to make it last.
Depends on the end game. If you're buying all aftermarket rotating assembly they all cost the same.
What compression ratio are you intending to build? Because this is a major issue when it comes to getting an off the shelf piston that will work in ratio lower than 9 to 1.
Anything lower and your looking at a custom made blower piston set which start in the $1800 range and up depending on what you want, or need.
There are several other areas that require attention if you really intend to bang on it as well.
You didn't mention if this is a 340 or a 360 this also has significance in what is available crankshaft wise and what connecting rods you can run.

Sorry didn’t mean to hit that must have fat fingered it. I wasn’t disagreeing with your reply. I need all the info I can get. Really sorry@stormydart
Care to explain your Red X?
Would like to stay with pump gas.
I would like to see about 600 to 700.
