I think they changed the material . The older ones where stronger .

Elnef - i think if you get 300 hp that work over the year and run consistant 10's you are on the right side  Smiley

About 4 years ago they had to change supplier[not the actual material] due to a huge price increase for the billet material meaning the retail cost would have doubled

That gives us 2 alternatives, but are they any stronger than Scats??
Scat have produced cranks for many years, they should how to make them strong enough...?
Sorry for hijacking your trad Elnef, but I have reason to belive that many t4 builders are folowing it.

No need to say sorry
If anybody got some info just bring it on  Wink

Excellent news Elnef. So I guess you will use a Raptor cam, alu pushrods and very little spring pressure.  Wink

I got the parts you talk about but not sure about the alu push rods if I will use them or not
Also had a Raptor cam in my engine when my crank broke
Here is a photo from last time on the dyno with belt on  Wink

Just a tip, fjordline is sailing from Hirtshals for 199 for one man and one car. That leaves you with only 3,5 hours of driving ;-)

Looking really good Elnef! Will you be able to race it this season? We are a few guys from Norway that will attend the Night of Fire race at Kjula 21-22 Sept. I can highly recommend the Kjula strip and it would be really nice to meet you again.
