383 with nitrous
I plan on stroking my motor out to a 383 or 396 with nitrous when I get the green. :lol:
And wanted to know if you need a forged Crank and rods if you are only running a 75-150 shot?

Re: 383 with nitrous (vetteguy216)
Depends on how extreme your motor is, but a lot of guys are using cast cranks with the juice from what I have read. Personally, mine is forged crank, rods, and pistons but I do not want to ever have to worry about throwing more power at the bottom end. Sure you can still blow it up, been there, but it will handle more overall.
So, is it necessary, not necessarily. ;)
