Default Building a nitrous dedicated motor/ putting the $ where it counts..

Not sure what block I'll use Iron block, LS2, or the new LS7 (when that comes out).

But I'm looking at the internals, such as crank, rods and pistons. Money is an object, but I dont want to compromise on any critical parts.

One thought is on the Eagle crank. I see the stock cranks taking a tremendous amount of abuse, so isn't the Eagle crank a better one than stock? I'm not sure if a better (more expensive one) is needed for a 300-400 shot. Convince me.

Eagle stuff is great for the price. I have built a 383 with their stuff and it turned out awesome.
