Default 383 Stroker Kit??

Who has the best deals on a stroker kit?? Is anyone using a Scat crank?? If so did you have any trouble having it balanced??

You looking to go with a cast or forged crank?

I ran a scat 9000 crank for 6 years in my 383. Took some heavy metal to balance, but it worked fine, and held up to lot's of juice on a two stage kit, then 14psi of boost when the nitrous was pulled off. Crank looked great when I pulled it out earlier this year.

It's my understanding the the forged cranks are easier to balance. And the pricing is much better on the forged than it was 6-7 years back.

Thanks guys for the info and I am planning to run with a forged crank, and I will get in touch with Jim, and look on ebay. Are the H-beams from scat as good as the ones from eagle?

Scat and Eagle rods are generally used interchangably ... Both are 4340, are the same design and use the same ARP 8740 bolts.
