Where can I buy a Type-IV "stroker" crank? Options

[Charles Deutsch]

Scat quoted me a price of $1499 for a 78 mm, one piece chromoly billet, T-4 crankshaft and I can buy one from Aircooled.Net for $500 but are there any other places that I can check for prices?

Thanks.

Check out DPR I have heard nothing but good stuff from them. For street use the welded stroker cranks are not a problem. If you want to race get the new forging from SCAT or HTC. Moldex might do one for you as well.

AS far a rod ratio goes, 1.70-1.80 is generally considered optimal. The shorter the rod the higher the piston speed and side loading on the cylinder walls, but it also sucks harder through the intake ports, so bigger intake ports can work well on the street. For durability stick with a rod ratio close to what porsche designed into the engine. IF you change the rod ratio you need to develope the rest of the engine to take advantage of such a change. Meaning heads, compression, exhaust design, cam design, etc...
