Default needing feedback on a crankshaft.

has anyone ran or currently running the callies lsc series crank in the ractrucks. i have read these are a budget crank, and very well made considering budget crank and can take some abuse.. what im trying to figure out is what type of power levels/adders have people but to these vs. the compstar series. or dragonslayer.

If you are going to spend the money, go forged.
It is not that much more.
Otherwise, the stock crank is good enough.

the compstar is for 850 on tsp and sdpc

step it up and have a much better crank with better matierals and alot of room to grow

the 4340 is rated at 1000hp

IMO, I would keep the stock crank and have it Ion Nitrated for way less. The one listed is only rated to 650 and I have seen stock cranks go much higher.

If your set on doing a stroker set up, then as mentioned get the better unit. Especially if you plan to go with any type of power adders in the future.

FWIW, Compstar = Made in China.

I guess before anyone recommends a crank, it would be good to know what your goals for the build are, and any power adders planned.

^^^ I am wit that guy.


Also like FastBrick said stock GM cranks can take serious power. Plenty have been over the 1000 hp mark
