?'s about 383 stroker LS1 help needed i need some help from the sponsores about putting me together a forged rotating assembly. i already have rod and main bearings, i just need the crank, rods, pistons, and rings. i am on a tight budget and need a little help. i do have a BRAND NEW Dr. Evil Max Evil stage III 4L60E with vac. modulated v-body, and deep alu. pan that i can trade or sell to anyone thats interested.
What do you want out of your setup? Nitrous beast? NA dragster?
The Eagle Forged Crank, CompStar Forged Rods, and Mahle Pistons are a cheap alternative that work well for NA and mild nitrous shots. $2100 and the Mahle pistons include the rings.
Or, you could go with a Callies Crank, Manley Rods, and Diamond pistons/rings for $3500 or so, and it'd be good for just about anything you could throw at it.

i have the nx direct port shooting a 200, after this possibly as much as 300 once or twice. i want JE or Diamond pistons, Scat or Eagle rods, Eagle crank. i think this would be about the best i could get for the price.
Yeah, those Scat rods are rated to 900HP and are around $585 or so. I like those and the CompStar (Callies) rods for the price ~$600. I know CompStar comes with ARP Rod bolts, but I don't know about Scat. The Eagle 3D rods are perhaps a tad cheaper and are still reliable.
Diamond runs around $580-600 + $130 for rings, so Mahle is cheaper and seems to be as good. JE runs about the same price as Diamond.
And the Eagle crank is about $900, so you're looking at $2195 with Diamond/JE and $2060 or so with Mahle pistons with either the CompStar, Scat, or Eagle rods. It might come down to which piston/rod combo comes with the most "extra" parts for similar cash if $2200 is pushing your budget. I'm sure a sponsor can hit you up with a slight discount if you buy a complete kit balanced from them.
