Default Stock polished crank for 355 force fed setup?

Can I use my stock crank on my forced fed 355 setup? Also is it worth the money to have it internally balanced, or should I have it balanced at the flywheel...? Being that I have a zero balanced billet steel fly wheel from spec...

The block is a 2bolt going to get some JE dished pistons and eagle 5.7 forged rods... Planing to put around 10- 12 #'s of boost... Do you think it is wirth internally baling it or shold I just buy an eagle kit for 1,600?

If you're doing a 355 I'd put 6" rods in it...... you can definitely keep the stock crank if you want....

My stock cranked 355 went 10.40 and was still runnin strong when i pulled it apart...... but yeah internally balance it....

The blocks going to move around before the crank with the 2 bolts so don't worry about it.

I'd run a 4 bolt personally reguardless of the crank.

what do you gain with 6.0'' rods over the 5.7'' on boost application. Someone fill me in on this
