You're insane if you spray 200 on a weldup on purpose.

If you are even asking the question, step away from the nitrous bottle.
Any day on a motorcycle like this that ends just needing parts and labor is a good day.

John,
That's the most you would go on a weldup stroker?

I wouldn't spray it at all quite frankly. you could put a 60-80 shot on it though.

Some people spray the hell out of them.
Some people try to say the welding is just as strong as a forging or billet as well (which could be possible IF the whole crank was post weld heat treated, which is not done)

Even prominent crank resellers will not recommend a weldup for big spray.

Man if people suggest you not using a weld up when spraying that much.......and you were asking opinions.....then you come back trying to convince people that you saw weld up holding up etc.....go ahead and convince yourself...get a weld up and soray the shit out of it and let us know....cause we are not talking to ourselves here......me i say fuck weld ups even on hp only.......but hey...it's your $$$$$$.......everyone has his own opinion..you got mine.....stock factory or billet ..is what i swear by.
