Is a forged crank necessary if I'm not planning on going beyond the normal 5-5200 rpm range? I already have a stock cast crank - won't something else go first? If changing the crank, should I stroke it? If so how much? Eagle has crank/rod/piston assembly's and I'm sure others do - would that be the route to go?

Will going to a roller camshaft require me to machine the block for the lifters? Is the gain in profile worth the expenditure?

Thanks guys, still learning.
