so a forged crank is the way to go! Wow they are crazy expensive the kinda of money im spending here should have me in the 10s on motor!
IMO Them rods are worse then the other Summit Rods, the others are atleast 4340 these are 5140. A discussion on a budget minded rod has been talked about on another site, sounded like the first Summit Rods you have arent that bad of a rod. Several of the guys used them, one had them in his 555 bbc that made 940hp on the dyno. I like eagle stuff, but any rod I buy I upgrade the rod bolts. I would not buy a cast crank, like mentioned above your asking for trouble.
