I'd like to see some of these 1500 hp bracket race engines I'm hearing about. If, you're in the Pro classes you need the good crank, If, you're out with the Street Outlaws ,maybe, you need one. Like the one guy said, they use a BBC crank forgings, who uses mopar size bearing anymore? All this whining and crying for nothing. Buy a raw forging and get it cut by your favorite crank grinder.
There are lots of 1500 hp mopes out there on callies cranks. Any big inch combo with a couple kits on it does it easy. The chepo stuff won't take it, period, end of story.
Like is being repeated here, the attitude of too many mopar people is the reason a product like this is lost to us. Not being able to get these cranks in the future is a huge deal. For reasons like Al said, pay 5-7 G for a good aluminum block, and the budget might need adjusting. Well, who wants to put a cheap crank in it? You could, and still can, while they last, go with a callies, and be ok to make power. Later, it's going to be spent 3500+ dollars for a crank that's up to task.
