Crank Selection! HELP I need to order cranks and rods. I have done some searching in FI section and really cant find any threads on what guys are using. Here is the build sheet so far:
-LSXblock bored to 4.135 or maybe 4.155 (4in stroke or maybe smaller 3.8 or 3.9 input appreciated)
-Twin tc 76s (journal bearing)
Stainlessworks down and forward headers
-Cam is 24x/25x .632 .632 117 + x (originally spec'ed for my 416)
-FIC2000s (e85)
-4L80E with t-brak and circle d converter
-1000 plus rwhp is the goal (more would be better obviously, LSX block can handle way more so why not?!)
-TFS 245s 6bolt heads, nitrous exhaust port, ls3 valves, powder metal guids
I like wiseco pistons, or should i look at something different?
Right now I am thinking callies dragonslayer crank and callies ultra h-beam rods?
I want to hear ppls thoughts and suggestions.

twin 76s are good for over 1500 I belive losls2 has twin 76s. But for 1300 I would think the dragonslayer crank would do it. The ultra billet callies rods I haven't herd much about.

I think your making good choices. I'm having a short block built now by a top builder and its getting dragonslayer, caillies ultra H beams and wiesco pistons. All chosen after plenty of research and thought.

What about storke length? I know the LSX block has a little longer sleeve, but I don't want to pull the piston too far out of the bottom.
Options I am considering:
4.00
3.900
3.825 ( magnum crank only
)
3.625 (might not get me enough cubes for the cam, calculated a 399 with a 4.155bore)

dyers 300m rod. there are people making over 2000hp with them. We are using manley 300m I beams with Carr bolts and make 1500 on quite a few of our GTR's with more room to grow (thats a V6 by the way) sonny bryant also makes great billet cranks. Just trying to throw some other options out there for you to check out. 
Im personally using the Manley 4340 I beam on my 1200+whp build and they should hold up fine. And you might want to look at some different turbos, there is really no to ever buy a tc series turbo, you'll max out those exhaust sides before well before you'll ever even get close to maxing out the compressor side. get some journal bearing precision 67/66's or garrett GT37's with billet wheels.

I have working Brain Tooley on the combo and getting everything lined up.
The turbos came at a good price. I will run these and see how far they will get me and upgrade down the road. At this point I just want to have to together for summer.

3.825 does not ONLY come in Magnum. I have a regular Callie's forged 3.825" in my 390ci. $660.00 bought directly from Callie's.......
I'm going for 1,200 RWHO with twins......

I order a set of Callies Ultra-H beam rods.
Now I need helping getting a crank ordered up. What are guys thoughts, I am thinking callies dragon slayer 4.00. The bore size will be 4.135 or 4.155.
Maybe get a smaller stroke but then I have to stray away from the callies dragon slayer.
Thoughts or opinions and other options are appreciated.....
