not sure about cast.... Got my forged SCAT 4" crank for my LS1 back in early 99'. ran 50,000 miles on it now with no problems. from all I heard they are supposed to be really strong.

i run one of their 9000 series cast cranks in my 383. if you do a search on cz28.com about them then you will see some people are putting 600-700 horse on them with out breakage. Seems to be a very strong peice

So Scat makes a forged LS1 crank?

Who sells them and how much?

Only person I recall breaking the cast LT1 crank is Intmd8.

When I have talked to Scat on the phone, their cranks have been like $2800, and I think the Lunati cranks are a lot cheaper than that.

Can't comment on the LS1, but, from what I have heard, Scat cranks are a cheaper stroker crank compared to some of the other manufacturers like Cola, etc. Although they may be a budget stroker, I have never heard anything negative about them.

Again, I can't comment on the LS1 application. From what PSJ said, they certainly are not "budget" for the LS1 (if that's what he was referring to)

Ron,
