Thanks for the info, Keith. I give myself an 'A' for effort even though my math was wrong (never my best subject). At the least, this post shows an interest in a forged stroker. As for my Scat cast crank, I don't want to be the one to find out they all won't take that much hp. It's not just the hp, it's also the RPMs with that long stroke, as the piston speed gets to the point where you want premium parts to keep it together past 5500-6000 RPM, and I don't consider the cast cranks a premium part, just something to get me by until a forged unit comes along. Call me cautious, I've blown a motor before and don't care to repeat the experience.
THANKS,
Dan
