Lunati rotating assembly 58x? Any other kits better for similar price? I am looking for a 58x, balanced stroker kit for a 408 iron block with dished pistons and i-beams (I think....whichever is the stronger, h or i). I like the lunati kits since they are rated for my power goals and I have heard good things, but they appear to be 24x. Can they be ordered 58x? Also, are there any other kits out there that would work just as well for similar prices? I went to the Texas Speed site, and they have several options, but I cannot determine their power capabilty improvements as I upgrade the parts list.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Texas Speed has a good deal on a 408 rotating assembly, $1699 before balancing and includes chamfered bearings for the assembly. They include Wiseco or Diamond pistons and Callies rods and crank.

What would the compstar crank, compstar rods, and Wiseco dished pistons be good for in regards to HP/rpm (approx)? That would be a very reasonably-priced kit.
If I upgraded to Dragonslayer crank and Oliver rods, what would be the HP/rpm rating (approx)? Would it be OK to stick with the Wiseco pistons or should I go to IBF Diamonds (or something else) at that point?

Lunati is the most money but if you go i-beam rods it will all be american made. That was important to me but not to most people. I think the i-beam rod is rated for over 1500 hp. Their h-beam is a china rod. That way they have something lower cost like calies and eagle. I just ordered a rotating assembly for my ls454 from them and aslo built a 434 and 416 from them. If you have questions talk to jeff at Lunati.
