Forged crank and rods..who has broke any and what power level? Some forged parts like eagle rods have a hp rating think like 700 on the eagle rods.But seems people have exceeded these hp rating on some parts.
I would like to know about failures on some of these forged cranks and rods and what power level you were at.
I am building a big power twin turbo car and not sure what to get for forged stuff.The lunati and callies cranks look very strong but are huge bucks compared to say the eagle or stock crank.Same with connecting rods..we have affordable eagles and compstars and then things like carillo or lunati pro billet rods that are almost double the price but supposed to be virtually indestructible.
I have seen pics on my dsm boards..thats laser,eclipse ,talon cars..of eagles that were bent but many guys run them in huge power applications.
I don't want to cheap out want to do it right in my 99 TA.
