Micropolish and Nitrated?
Predator Z recommended it. Do you not think i need? You read my post from before i believe. Instead of buying a new crank for boost he recommended Micropolish and Nitrate the stock one that i have.

Any reputable LSx engine building shop can do that. Why spend 1K on a crank when you can put the money towards the best boost pistons and rods money can buy.
The stocker will handle what you can throw at it, as a matter of fact, I've yet to see a thread about (my crank failed under boost) at the levels you are talking about.
1- I would gather parts, but I would get a professional LSx shop handle the built. that IMO is more crucial because you are going to want the most stable and reliable shortblock built for this type of power.
2- You are looking at at least 15000 buckaroos in parts alone so managing your $$ is crucial.

Oh i totally agree on the money part. Ive got a company down here that builds my buddies race engines for his cars. They havent done an LSx yet but they have done his old school 350's and they are bitchin. Ill have to contact him about the crank and ask. I know its gonna be expensive ive already dropped about 12,000 on the car so far. 6g's in suspension alone. And if anyone wants to flame that ill quickly add it up for you. Anyways thanks for the help bro.

Really worth the money. My last 600rwhp Supra motor cost me $550 to do.
One word of advice though, make sure you assemble the motor to final specs, before teardown to be cryo'd.
Otherwise good luch grinding or filing anything.
(as a matter of fact, I have some parts in my 10 bolt rear that are cryogenicaly treated along with micronite treated gears) who needs 12 bolts anyways

so your saying put the engine together then pull it apart to have it Cryo'd?

Yeap, everything has to be already blueprinted. The alloy will become so strong, that you'll beak bits trying to grind things.
Also you need a special hone on the cylinders otherwise no way to seat the rings (which are cryo'd too)
