lets just say :snky: i was buying a new crank. i have the option of cast or forged. forged costs about 3 times as much as the cast one. is it really worth the money? i have no intentions of running more than like 500 hp EVER no matter what i do, so should the cast one be ok?

it all depends on the crank, which u need to do research on. i doubt anyone here will know much about ur particular crank. go on a mopar forum and see.
for example, ls1 cast cranks can take ALOT. alota SBC cast cranks suck… research on a dodge specific forum

Depends on how well is it built. Not too many people know about the 360’s around here unless Howie knows you might have to look elsewhere.

Most cast cranks can hold quite a bit. But you would have to research your specific crank. dont know too much about those…

pay it off first.
Then, go on a Mag360 specific forum. 95% of this forum could tell You the ins/outs of dozens off applications, just not YOURS. There is no generic answer for “How much can an XYZ crank take”. Hondas, Daewoos, GM, Ferrari… they are all different.
Other then that… You can have a nice looking truck, a work truck, or a DD truck.
From the 11ty4 threads that You’ve made so far, the general opinion is that You need a toy car. A car that will respond well to $2-8k in mods. By respond well, I mean hp&tq per dollar.
You ask for these opinions every single time You make these threads. You want to know the best place to spend Your “mod money”… we’re telling You. Time and time and time again.
Wow… You’re the first person on my Nyspeed Ignore List. :lol:

They are just making a point, if you want to do a 360 up. just buy a nice crate motor and save thousands… ive seen somne pretty nice 360’s done but if i were you, id just buy a damn crate motor all built and some nice tunning and be done. ive been through this with dodge’s takes alot of $ to make a r/t fast.
