hi guys,
just wanted to know if you guys know any good complete bottome end rebuild kits. How's the one in summit? i am goin to be putting a cam kit in, might as well to the bottom end. can you guys help me out?
thanks

 

come on, nobody?

 

Depends on HP, if you are staying under 400 or so RWHP, you can get away with using the stock crank and rods.

 

you might as well stroke it out if your going to go in that far, IF you have the funds.

 

But there is a lot more to it than the bottom end as far as stroking it out. That wasn't the most expensive part. All the block work, upgrading the injectors, computer, head work to flow better. Just went through it and ended spending about 3500 more than I figured.

 

READ MY POST AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I said IF he has the funds. Ingorance is bliss

 

The summit kit is nice for what you pay. All you would need to get your stock rods pressed on to the pistions. Or you could just buy a new set of rods. IMHO

 

Take it EZ buddy...I wasn't referring to your post, just adding to it. I was just letting him know that it costs more than just the bottom end.

 

do i need a better crank than stock? i will be at 375-400 rwhp do i need a better crank than stock one? i was just thinking of getting the summit bottom end rebuild. My car will be daily drive during nice weather and na. anybody else?
thanks to all of you for your time and help

 

You dont need a new crank for 400rwhp.. Over 500rwhp it'd be a good idea but i have friends who run stock cranks at 450rwhp-600rwhp and all up there in the 580-700rw ft lbs of torque.. None of them have broken a crank.. Connecting rods seem to go first unless detonation hits then the piston goes 1st.
