Hey:

What I don't get is why people still buy them things, and then put them in a performance engine. Stock is better and a forged 1 is not that much more all things considered. Plus no grenade, maybe thats why cheap or semi expensive thrills to see it go poof.

Cast eagle cranks are only good to around 500 flywheel, and must be prepped before installing.

No clue why people still put them in H/C cars and then act surprised when they break.

There are more 1,000+hp cars with forged eagle cranks then you can imagine.

I know a lot of people use eagle. 1,000hp+ or not, I still wouldn't use anything eagle.
