But at the same time, I've seen some circle burners run an entire season with a cast crank in a 3400 pound car. A guy here in town finished his second season drag racing a 3200 pound car using a cast crank and resized rods!!! If I tried it, probably wouldn't make it in the trailer first time out without breaking it!!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:Quote:

I haven't broke a cast crank yet (*knocking on wood*) I did break the snout off a 4340 crank.Quote:

I do have a friend that has the Eagle street/strip rotating assembly kit with the KB pistons, SIR rods, and cast crank that has run 10.90's bouncing off the 7200 rpm pill 40ft before the stripe.:eek: :eek: He finally put a throttle stop on it and backed it down to 11.20's at 6800 rpm.
