my friend also snapped his stockcrank, he ran like 12.5's in 1/4mile, so about 340hp or so

Yep, the 91 ran 12.70's.

That's what I get for not having it tuned. All I can think of is that it was having high rpm pinging that I couldn't hear, which caused the crank to walk and BOOM! crank snapped.. not a fun day.

Yeah that and it being a 50 ounce motor with probably a marginal balance job if it was factory done...If you plan on spinning high R's the lighter the balance hanging out there the better!!! 28 ounce on your 331 stroker should he a win!!! just like my 347
