Default Which rotating assembly...

There's a million RA out there but which one will work for my application? I'll be between 500-600rwhp. If I'm gonna spend 1800+ on a RA then I'm just gonna buy an assembled short block.

Someone find me a RA that will handle mid 500's that doesn't cost $1800+


Or if it wont happen tell me.


BTW has anyone ever known of a GT crank to be broken? My other thought is to say frcuk it and keep the cast crank.

While I can't give you an answer on the RA kit, I can tell you that you should deff save up to forge EVERYTHING. You will be SO much happier, trust me.

I can't trust anything you say. Your sig is to big and your statement is to vague and lacking substantiation. Make you sig smaller, find me some facts or just reply back with a smart comment to increase your post count.


thanks,
anyone else?

I would tell you that without a forged crank, if you have any hopes of forced induction (especially nitrous) you are going to need to forge your crank. I would tell you more, but I have 3 lovely ladies waiting for me in the back of my car so we can go to Alchemy, have a good night!

God I hope you're had a few sips of the sauce before you left for the club, cause if you said that sober I think you should end your life to save the planet.

Have you called propower performance (945-491-6988)like I told you before? They are who i buy all my assembly's from. All you need is to upgrade your rods and pistons (rings and bearings). I have seen the cast crank in 800rwhp engines and they survived just fine.

Really nice http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MANLE...7428QQtcZphoto

Big time budget http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FORGE...6986QQtcZphoto

Call them for the best deal.
