    Crank to buy

    Valasco or Bryant you cant go wrong.
    I heard Crower is not what it use to be, I have heard they farmed out work to china... cant verify it though.
    Good luck

    What kind of setup do you have? HP wise?
    And who does your fuel system or how well do you know your own? It makes a huge difference!;)
    We used to crack cranks on a regular basis even Crower in there "glory days".
    Now we make more HP, run more RPM and make more boost, but,,, we don't crack cranks, why??? its in your fuel system.
    A cheap Chinese crank will last longer in conjunction with a good fuel tuneup vs an expensive crank with a bad tuneup.
    Trust me, we've proved it.
    Hire some of these fuel guys on this board!

    crower

    crower cranks are one of several cranks that are a great crank
    be shure you buy a crank that has large center counterweights
    crower has several different options in forgings they are the same forging in different weight forms and machine operations i agree that it does not matter what crank you have in the engine if the tune up is off you will detonate it to death and they will all crack
    thanks
