I been looking to build a turbo motor for some time and now i have the money to start it. after reading on here many members running stock cranks with some killer number hittin 1000+ would i really be ok to run a stock crank n a iron block turbo motor trying to run some low 9's hi 8's? as i talked to finish line performance they say they don NOT recommend me run a stock crank. If i can save money by running a stock crank then i would like to but i dont wanna cut my self short and blow a motor up because of a stock crank. I guess my question is what is the chances of a stock crank failure in a hi hp turbo motor. or is it just a peace of mind having a good crank?

And what exactly have you seen? I haven't heard of anyone with a properly assembled LS1/6 breaking a stock crank. That includes combos that have gone low 8's.

Actually I dont think anyone has found the limit of the stock crank. Its strong, very strong.

lots of folks using the stock crank in 1000ish rwhp setups, no reason not to use it, I would if I was building a 370 or 364 FI engine. I have never heard of one breaking, does not mean it hasn't happened, but the stock crank has proven itself time and again. go for it.

Just curious as to what youve seen?

Any disbelievers should go ask harlan about the stock crank. I think he took a stocker into the 8's @ 170+, with 1500+ hp.

I think the stock crank would give or bust due too some sort of other failure like busting a rod or loosing a piston, pistons hitting the valves, Your playing with 800-1500 hp there isnt too much reliability, the only insurance is too buy the supporting compenents. I havent read or heard of a stock crank breaking either. but that doesnt mean it cant happen

We've used stock cranks to 800rwhp/ blower cars (probly 1khp crank)without issue's.

You can nitrate it for starters and better yet you can cryo it (only after mock up install is ballanced and blueprinted).
