need help with rotating assembly selection My engine teacher suggested i go with this kit:
eagle forged crank
eagle forged h-beam rods
forged wiseco pistons
do you guys think this is the best setup for a large nitrous shot 300-400

after some more research it seems that this definitely wont be strong enough is billet steel rods and crank safe for somewhat of a street car. Does anyone know where i can find a package that has all of the high end stuff or will i have to get each separately. I need to get this stuff ordered by tomorow so please help. TIA

all of the major LS1 parts dealers sell forged cranks that can go beyond what the block can hold the heads down on..... therefore, there are no "off the shelf" billet steel cranks.
the usual suspects ( callies, lunati, ect) can of course make you one, anyway you want.... but its kinda pointless to spend 3k to 5k on a crank, when you only have 4 bolts holding the heads on each cyl....
call TSP ( www.texas-speed.com ) and they can talk to you about building/buying anything LS1 engine related.... same with thunder racing, or any of the other major sponsors...
if you're still dead set on a custom billet crank, theres only a handful of companys that do that, so you already know who to call.

I wasnt dead set on a billet crank but from reading on here alot of people suggested it but then i couldnt find any. I just want my motor to hold a 400 shot. but its good to know the forged lunati will be strong enough. I am gonna go to 1/2" Arp studs for the heads.
