[project 87]

i have a 454 30 over im putting in my 87 g body regal, 820 heads and am going for 9.0:1 compression. i'm also planning on spraing a 150 shot of juice and was wondering everones opinions on if i should get a steel crank on just go with the stock cast one? this is just going to be a weekend street/strip car and not see anything over 6500 rpm.

The stock cast crank will be more than adequate for your application, just make sure everything is machined and balanced correctly.

Yep, exactly what he ^ said.

cast crank is ok but youll be hooked before too long and want to increase the nitrous shot.
anything above a 150 shot youll need to think about a forged lower end.

^^^Agree^^^, Ive run 200 and 300 shots on cast steel cranks, no problems. You dont need the forged crank at this level, but forged pistons are a must.
