Indexing a crankshaft

Fred Elsass · Today, 06:38 AM

Can anyone out there tell me how much HP would be gained by indexing an after market crankshaft from a reputable company?

I understand that indexing a crankshaft is to assure that each and every journal on a V8 engine is exactly 90 degrees apart.

Would this not be tantamount to attempting to build a Formula 1 engine to run Stock Eliminator?

If I needed to get a crank done from scratch, I would probably have it stroked and indexed. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother. Not for a (relatively) low HP and low RPM engine.
