Not to hijack, but this thread has pretty much changed my mind on using the forged crank. If the cast crank from scat is a little lighter and is close to $500 cheaper, and I don't plan on ever going over 6500 rpm or 500 HP, I guess I should go with the cast? I'm probably gonna be around 425-450 HP on a 408 from the components I'm looking at I think..
At that power level you would be fine with either crank (425-450). I went forged because I race a lot, and I'm close to 600hp, give or take. From what I have read, Scat cast cranks are pretty stout...unlike Eagle cast cranks.
