Forged crank machining

nitrojunkee said
Who sells a nice crankshaft for $700? 440source? No thanks. Even a Scat is more than a grand, and that's about as low on the manufacturer pole as I'd go. You guys keep saying "very high horsepower", but I don't think you realize just how much power we lose at 6000' above sea level. As I said, this combo MAY make 550hp on 10lbs of boost, but probably more like 500-525. You wouldn't trust a factory forging that has been mag'd to 500hp? This isn't a roots or screw blower, It's centrifugal and low boost.

Maybe I'm completely wrong in my thinking, and need to go back to the drawing board.

this answered that.

your already putting lip stick on a pig. if your dead set on running a stock crank i would get one that does not require that level of machining. in fact it would be cheaper to get a crank that is alot closer to specs. and not have to pay for the machine work.

we are only telling you what we recommend. in the end its your build. sounds like you already have your mind made up and your looking for validation. It could last forever. it could blow up on the dyno. wont know till you throw it together and run it.
