Default Nascar Crank

The Nascar cank is heavy and the rods are heavy and it was made for sustained 7 or 8 grand track events. I think it's a great idea to have a rare piece, but this is not the best place to scratch that itch. Also if you need to grind the crank, you can't get new bearings. I do not think it was widely used in drag racing, however a lot of money was spent grinding forged cranks to chrysler rod bearing sizes while increasing the stroke. You might have a better overall experience going with a stroker crank
