a cast stroker crank is plenty.

MP 360 shortblock..(arp rod bolts, main studs)
(just cleaned up no porting) w5 heads, flat tappet .650 cam, 13:1 #3100 72 duster and 1.45 60foot, 10.50s at 126...shifts at 7500rpm and footbraking. um yeah cast stroker crank will be plenty.

These are stock rods, hypertetnic pistons and the stock cast crank, 3 full season and haven't had any issues, won the pro championship last year 3rd this year (car is spinning due to track)

good pistons, cast crank. h-beam rods, good heads (large port commando's, w2's or 5's) good cam, converter and traction ..you're there.
