forge my crank? hey guys need your opinion on something. thinking about forging my rods and pistons. should i go ahead and get the crank forged also. doing this while getting a lot of things installed(for boost in the future). also if i do get the forged crank should i go ahead and get it with some increased stroke to increase the cubic inches. thanks for opinions.
A stroked crank is great for added power. but what are your plans with the car? What do you want out of it? and what kinda budget do you have? All things to consider when doing the build.

if you are gonna get a forged crank, it would be silly not go get a longer stroke too. As for strength, the stock crank is fine for pretty much anything you will throw at it. I believe up to 900hp or so, if not more.
budget not an issure
