    Crower tells me there forged crank is stronger than the billet. Is anyone running there forged crank in 526 hemi with a 1471. Also i'm trying to decide which crank to buy crower, bryant, or winberg. 4.5 is the stroke. Thanks for any help.

    Forged cranks don"t "flex" as much as billet cranks do, that"s why forged crank with high horsepower engines often get "cracks" in the radius off the journals.

    Remember why almost all the Nitro & Alcohol cars uses billet cranks.
    My choice would be Velasco but Winberg and Bryant would also be good.
