There are cars making well over 1000 at the wheels. If you plan on making that much power I would put a little bit nicer crank in though. you will see more crank flexing at those power levels with the Eagle stuff.

I wouldn't say everyone thinks that they're junk. They're definitely not. The first batch of them had balancing issues but that has all been fixed and they're actually a very common choice in shops that build aftermarket shortblocks. They're more than durable enough for anyone running anything less than an absolutely insane drag car.

Not a prob... I'm having a 408 built and it's going to have an Eagle crank. No way I'm paying for a Callies crank. It's just unnecessary for most people.
