stroker rotating assembly..which to buy? $$$ (LS1)
ok, i'm now ready to purchase my rotating assembly for my SS, i just sold my dumptruck and now i have more than enough for it. I dont know whether to go for lunati or callies, I heard callies has had major issues with thei lt1 cranks when used with a supercharger. so that makes me want to go for lunati.
but now i also need to decide on heads since i need to know the cc of them so i can make sure my compression ratio works out to around 8.5:1. If anyone can run the numbers for me in regards to bore, stroke, etc to help me coem up with what i need, let me know. i need to find the piston dish cc.

I've never heard anything bad about lunati. then again, I've never heard anything bad about callies either until just now.

i would call both companies and see what they suggest for your application. they are both well known companies, so chances are they are not going to sell you junk. i would also call a few speed shops or engine builders to see what they suggest. i like to shop around, especially when it comes to spending a few grand. no ones word is going to be as good as someone who has dealt with both products,or deals with them everyday.

AFAIK, Lunati was one of the first companies to come out w/ aftermarket rotating assys. for the LS series engines. So, they have been at it a 'lil while...

From what I had read the problem with callies cranks failures was suppose to have been caused by improperly fitting hubs. Apparently the Callies crank design caused the hub not to seat completely on the snout. The side load from the SC resulted in eventual failure. but I understand that was happening with big SCs making high boost. What was needed was for the hub to be test fitted and if needed the rear of the hub beveled so the hub would fit flush.
I'm running the Callies Stealth crank. I know of a few people that are making over 800 HP via SC or NOS without any problems.
