Are the callies dragonslayer cranks not strong enough for supercharged applications

Yes, it's easier on the crank and the blower. Procharger will allow you to "overspin" their units up to a point with the gear drive due to the decreased bearing sideload from a belt drive. The geardrives are nice but they cost an arm and a leg ~$3500. If my 50mm cog setup gives me longevity problems down the road, I'll be picking one of these up.

Great information in this thread.. thank you guys.
Atomic you did 1132rwhp on the compstar crank thats insane and speaks for callies. Thats is their budget line haha 1132 through a automatic! Im just in shock and the power these cars can make. Hopefully the dragonslayer will due its duties for me at 1000+ pump gas 93 no meth and a good gas big boost tune with the proper boost controller (gear specific).

what Tony neglects to post is the crank has done many years service. On last tear down it was shown to him the crank was being flexed by his drive set up and the tension on the belt. It is typical of the Vortec drives that see the belt being ran as tight as a drum seal to make an in adequate belt work.
He has been constantly warned of the load on the front of the crank that isn't supported in any way shape or form. He has also been advised to lighten and balance the crank pulley that is substantially heavier than it could be.
