Maximum HP on Gen1 Crank, Pistons & Rods

[Stahlhart]

Hi,

what´s the maximum HP you guys made on stock Crankshaft, Pistons & Rods on a Gen1 RT/10?

I made nearly 800HP (@Crank) with built cylinder heads, headers, camshaft, roller rockers, Paxton (@ 8PSI), 70mm throttle bodies, polished & modified intake manifold (rolling thunderz),... The 2 Walbro´s 255 ran with 99%, so we "just" reached 785 HP @Crank (Superflow SF883 E).

With the two Aeromotive (Stealth 340) and E85 gas, I want to gain more Power. What can you recommend on the Stock Crankshaft, Pistons & Rods? Heared something about 900 rwhp???

Thanks and regards

Jürgen

Stock crank can go to 1200 easy. are you using the stock pistons? They are forged, but if you want to go higher than 800-900, I would recommend going to after market pistons/rods.

Stock Crank without fine balancing to 1200? Sounds great!Do you mean 800-900 rwhp or @crank? I know they are forged on the Gen1 so whats the problem with them?

Thanks

No, it needs to be balanced properly to go to 1200. Pistons and rods should be changed out to go HIGHER than 800 or so at the wheels.
