499 low deck stroker, 700-750 HP max, already has aluminum main caps.

Is it essential to run a main girdle with this combo?

I take it you have an eight second dart that doesn't have one?

if it was me i'd run one. nothing like keeping things in their correct position under full power. a lil distortion can be a dangerous thing.

You don't have to have one, we went just as fast before they were even made, as we do now with the girdles, but I do have them on a couple of engines now. How many people think a stock 440 steel crank won't go in the 8's in a 10" tire car @ 3300lbs with 300hp of nitrous. Just like most of you say stock blocks won't last going that fast but a few of us do it all the time with no problems.

Not everyone lives on the computer. And besides that Lenny, Moparracer is a small block man and this is his first big block car in a long time.
Look at his sig, he's been in the 7's with a small block.


Darhl, to answer your question, no you won't need one with your build.
