Any one had any experience with CB performance forged stroker cranks ? They seem reasonably priced. The Race conrods also.

Stroker engine people, can you explain what crank you bought, and why. Looking into building 2276 and want opinions on what works, and doesnt. You can only spend it once, so better to seek advice.

I have those exact pieces,are they as good as a german crank no,are they a good crank at a nice price yes,and there are thousands of em running around the US in cars that do more k's than we do here,but u still have to wack a micrometer on them like all the other parts u buy.:thumb

I have both the CB super race 82mm crank and H beam rods in my 2110. The rods especially are sex in steel! No problems with them yet.
