355 boost questions. Im looking to build a budget 355 for boost, my number one question is how much boost can the stock crank take?
Im thinking my stock crank (resurfaced, or another oem one) with compstar forged rods, forged diamond pistons 9.1-9.5:1 comp, with file fit rings, and the rest of a fed mogul rebuild kit, basically how much boost can i run reliably? and How much HP can i make reliably?

my setup is as follows:
head studs
main studs
stock crank cut .010
eagle I beam rods
ross -24cc pistons
ported heads w/ 54cc chambers
ported intake manifold
58mm tb
custome blower cam, something about 24x/24x .600/.600
hooker longtubes
6 spd
4.30 gears
d1sc w/ 3.25" pulley
i think youll be fine with the stock crank, just use main studs.
oh yea, my car with the same setup 3.7" pulley / 100 wet shot, there is evidence of major cap walk. 2 bolt, so be forewarned of using nitrous on whatever you build also.

so the consensus is this would be good for up to 650 fwhp?
Next question, im thinking using a 6.00" forged rod will make for a pretty stout setup, im going to go with forged JE pistons probably just because i know the company from my Quad/dirtbike motor building days, what part number would be the correct ones to use? Im not sure what i should order for 4.030 bore and a 6 inch rod. Also what rings do everyone suggest and oil pump?
