Default n2o and stock crank

how much can a stock crank take?

say 650hp on motor then what would be the max shot size would you run..pistons and rods forged.

this would be a fogger and a good safe tune in it.

200,300 or 400 shot total?

The stock crank is tough, no doubt, but I'd get a little worried above 700rwhp. If I'm planning on making that much power, $1700 for a forged crank and some peace of mind is worth it to me.
I'm also not sure I'd hit my forged 383 with much more than a 200shot, but I'm a sissy like that. Good luck!

I would buy a new crank. Do you really want to blow it up because you went cheap with a factory crank?

Id say your going to be completely fine with that crank. Im hitting my car with a 200 shot and im using stock rods and crank..id say no more than a 250 shot if you want it to live but it will take more..just not reliably.

Its not the crank you need to worry about , its the main cap bolts , rod bolts and lifting the heads .

ARP fastners through out the motor with forged rods , pistons and head studs .

200-250 shot is easy .

300 shot will start lifting the heads on an aluminum block after a few passes .
