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.

im on the same process as well.dont know if to forged the crank or not

 

what i want in the end is a mid 10 second or lower car , something that is not just a race only car.budget not an issure

 

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.

 

stock crank all the way

 

If budget is not an issue you should get a stroked LS2. You will regret it later. I have a forged 347 and I should of spent a little more and went with a stroker setup.

 

wats the point of going stroker?

 

More displacement= More Power

 

Yeah if money is not an issue, LS2 stroker all the way.

 

so wat displacement will a 347 ls1 be after a 4 inch stroke witht stock size rods?and can it be stroke but low compression?

 

yes you can still have low compression the stroke does not effect the compression like head gaskets, pistons and heads do.

 

so lets say a low compression ls1 9to1 on 66 heads stock stroke how will i know wat pistons to get on a stroker lets see 383?and how much power will i have by having the same compression but on a stroker?
