Yep, go with the best price. Both are stronger than stock...and oem cranks have survived 800 hp nitrous engines in the ls-1. So it is probably a safe bet that any decent forged crank will hold up to what you are going to throw at it.
The real concern if you plan on pushing a great deal of hp is: what rods are you using?

This was in a 10 second car, making just over 600 hp.

Yes, they are 2 diffrent motors. Not many people around here use SCAT. I've heard much more about the eagle parts than I ever have SCAT. Like everyone else said, just pick the one that is better priced since they are pretty much the same all the way around.
They are both good. I bought all Eagle 4 inch stroke stuff. Plan to turn it to 8500 some do soon. I would not think twice about putting that kind of power on either one. If you have great machinest that can balance everything right and fit everything right. I had all my stuff remachined and checked. Oh, I do not know if I would turn it 8500 in an aluminum block though. I went with the cast iron 6 litter block with steal main caps and arp stud kits. I am sure some one on here has tried to turn the stock 5.7 litter block tight. Maybe one of them will sound off here in a sec.

nick the same thing i told you.. u can make 600+ on the stock bottom end and and a rev kit is pointless.. you have multibple people local trying to point you in the right direction.. just listen, do your research.. .. i let you make a decision on a part and you see what that got you.. LOL (you know what i'm referring to..) you know i won't let u **** up ur car.. u need to sit down with me and keith and we can see what ur goals are and what its gunna take to acheive them safely..
Mike...you'll forgive me if i decide to get as much advice as possible from as many people as possible.i appreciate yours and keiths advice and you know im always looking for your advice but im not going to swear by everything you say. i HAVE been doing my research and WTF does this mean?"i let you make a decision on a part and you see what that got you.. LOL (you know what i'm referring to..)" Youre going to let me make a dicision about what, my own motor?im getting a better deal then whats on the CAMAROZ28 thread so dont worry about it.i have a company working with me theyre going to store my block til i can afford to get everything done.if im planning on dropping a couple K why would i ask more than 2 people ive been asking everyone i can to get a feel for what i want done thats in my price range and will be my goal for the car.you should have pmed me if you had a problem with me asking others about everything.nice friend
