There actually very good, but have just crept into the LS-1 market. They offer 2 cranks types. The standard 4340 is around $1700 bucks and the billet is about $2400. I am using there rods in my build and had planned to use their crank, but they didn't offer anything larger than a 4.125" stroke at this time, so I had to go with Lunati. It's top notch stuff in my book. I wouldn't hesitate to use anything they have.

I was planning on using their rods for a future 408. If they made a crank I would use it as well. What rods do the sponsors use in their short/long blocks? I would not be surprised if that is what they use. I have heard of Scat because I built a fuel injected alcohol 355 for a dragster and we bought scat rods. Great product for the price as far as I know.

The only thing that Lunati might have over the SCAT is the "no twist" design. You'd have to go to Lunati's sight to read about that. Other than that, it looked as if the SCAT offered everything the Lunati did. Lunati also makes a pro-billet, but I'm sure it's upwards of $2600+ to.
I wonder how much that billet Scat crank weighs?
I'm still on the fence about which crank to go with. I too, didn't realize they had entered the LS1 market.
I was planning on Carrillo rods. But they are big money, somewhere around $1800 bucks. I think the Pro Billet Lunati rods are only around $1200.

You guys must be planning for some serious torque, RPMs and track abuse... because those are some pricey heavy duty components! Isn't Carrillo used on most Nextel Cup cars.... the ones that push out 800hp at 8,000rpms for a few hours straight?!

I'm going big dog with a 'charged 408. Street car, planning on over 800rwhp. Running most likely 110 Cam2. Gforce built T56, and a Billingsley Racing Fabbed 9".
There's no reason for me NOT to step it up to the higher priced components.
I'm sure Brad will be up there as well. He already has been afterall.

the reason i dont want eagle is do to the finish work. the lunatie is knife edged, polished, gun drilled ect ect ect. it is the caddy of crank shafts.
as for the rods, i did some
looking and found the rods i will use. they have already been to 1700 fwp!!! 
and for what its worth, my car will see 7000 rpm and 800-1000 rwhp
i hope!!
