  • Crank question

    I did a search and found nothing really but heres my question..

    My car right now on the spray puts down 393ftlbs to the wheels on a 90 shot.. which means I have over 420ftlbs at the crank.. I am planning on dropping my built motor in before May.. This motor will have forged rods, pistons, lightweight pushrods, big cam, LS6 springs, ssms heads and intake, and a nice direct port setup.. Pro Fogger..
    All I need is a crank.. What can I do to strengthen my crank up?? I cant find a forged crank and all I see is polished and shotpeened cranks on the 3.8 race motors.. Shotpeened is a cleaning right, and polished might disapate heat or something like that.. Any suggestions would be great.. [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img]

        Micropolished, chamfered oil holes, nitrided, knife edged, and shotpeened. Shold hold up pretty good.

          crygenically treated???
          The be honest, I don't think the crank will be a problem. The heads/bolt arrangement will fail first I bet.
