Eagle or Callies crank for FI?
If your building a supercharger combo for 900 rwhp which of the two would you choose? Are they just about the same or is one slightly stronger than the other? The callies crank would be the comp star version.

Either crank will work just fine, unless you are going to be pushing a lot more than 1000 hp I'd stick with the stock crank and up grade the rods and pistons. Save lots of money.

I would run the Callies compstar,i use them in 90% of my fi builds up to 1200hp.The Eagle is a good crank though-i have seen them hold over 1500hp.Sometimes the Eagle cranks leave a little to be desired on the journal finish.

Callies by far!
Yes this is a 3rd party experience since I'm using the stock crank in a 800whp application and have never had either but from what I have seen and heard callies is the way to go and eagle is junk! I saw a thread about a guy who broke a eagle crank at something like 600hp a threshold where not even a stock crank should break but that was probably just a bad forging but I've also heard other horror stories about eagle but that's just hear say its all up to your preference in the end man!
Best of luck!
