i wanted to know if anyone knew how much i would help my bike if i got falicon to do crank work for me. i would get a knife rod, balanced, shaved, and polished. i didnt know if it would be an arm ripping difference or not.

i love there cranks... I install in all of my builds, where possible...

as far as power gains,.. well, your not paying for that! your paying for a blueprinted crank for stronger, smoother, faster reving, and less stresses on the rest of the engine caused from harmonics generated from improper crankshaft balancing.

good luck.

thanks chad but i heard that if i get the knife rod i would have to rebuild it every 20-40 hours. is that true. but only drag race too.

ok thanks i didnt see why they would make you pay 200 bucks just for 20 hours. but do you know if it will make a huge arm ripping difference in power.

he said earlier that your paying for a smoother more reliable faster revving engine. so probably wont see much. Im telling ya stroke that thing. btw marc if you want to go fast stick with Chad!

when we were running the 502 stroker in the yfz from falicon it was friggin scary. get it stroked and you can do the work yourself its easy if you know what your doing with motors. Im pretty sure that with exhaust, vortex ign., JE 13.5:1 piston, and the falicon stroker crank.....we were pushing low to mid 60s hp. The things were rocket ships!
