helping a friend build a 355 LT1 and wants to splay it but still use stock crank. How much will they actually take?

 

search for stock crank and rods, boosted guys over 500RWHP running stock rods and crank. for anything ur buddy is building, should be fine unless he has a ton of spray, or boost on it.

 

on the list of the fastest lt1's theres a guy with a H+C 355 in the high 9's @ 135ish, hes hitting a 300 shot, hes using a stock crank.

The FI guys have pushed it to 750-800 crank hp. Unless your buddy is building a all out race motor I wouldnt think twice about it.

 

i was running high 10's on a 355 stock crank and a 400 shot. motor ran till the day i removed it put it in another car and that car started on fire due to some mice chewing up the harness.

 

I should've been just shy of 900 crank HP with the stock crank and no problems with my old nitrous build.

 

thanks!
