For several seconds I'm over the speed rating I'm not concerned with it honestly. If for any reason I was concerned with my safety I would not be doing it.

I don't think that was an issue at all, it was a 12yr old eagle crank that had been thru a lot of abuse before I got it so I wasn't concerned when it had the cracks in it.

I think just all the stress of 12 yrs of racing and I know it had a rough life from the previous owner Maxx melting the motor down twice.
Ok I'm confused. You cracked the eagle or the slayer. If eagle I'm not surprised. If slayer, that's where my comments about caps came from.

If my Eagle crank lasts 12 seasons before I needed to change it I would be more than happy.

I get all kinds of crap about wanting to run a 275 ET PRO and not tubbing my Chevelle. I keep trying to tell the local big tire guys that with proper boost control and chassis setup I can still keep up with them out of the gate and they don't believe me. Amazing knowledge of how to make a car work!

The eagle crank is the one that we found cracked.

It should go low 1.5's with more passes, my ltd went 1.54 on a 255 street tire. I'd like to eventually get more passes on it and try for some 8.6-8.7 range, might have to change the gear so can get more mph tho or if I go 6 bolt and change the motor I can get more rpm out of it.
