Stroker Performance Review

Regards the Eagle cast cranks.
Refer back to my comments on this thread regards having a stroker that went 11.70’s( one season, raced it a ton) then made the changes i outlined, ran 10.74 best( typically 10.90’s) raced it thst way two full seasons pretty much every nice weekend.
In short, i put probably 500-600 passes on that Eagle cast crank 416 combo. 2 of 3 seasons running 10’s, 1 season running 11’s. All passes footbrake.
After the 3rd season of this short block being together, over the next winter, added ported W5 heads to the top end to replace the eddie top end.
Immediately jumped to 10.30’s... this at 3350 pounds. Not a light car.
Anyhow, late August, towards the end of the 4th season beating on that cast crank, and now running 10.30’s as i said above, the cast crank let go just after shifting from 1st to second. Carnage.
So... got probably 700 1/4 mile passes on that cast crank before it let go, at ever more increasing horsepower levels.
Guess my thoughts are, as the OP is primarily a streeter, likely will never make( or at least anytime soon) 700 full passes on it( back then 100% of my laps were 1/4 zero 1/8) ..
Replacing the crank would be WAY down on my list of must do’s... from personal experience. Not to mention the Eagle cast unit nowadays might be of better quality than 18 or so years ago when mine broke after 4 race seasons
