Eagle Forged Crank
#21
The pilot bearing clearance is the only real concern I'd have with Eagle cranks. I've also talked to several machine shops that try to avoid using Eagle cranks because they claim it cost them to much in time and heavy metal to balance them... I don't know how true that is. Just based on these two concerns it might be worth spending the extra $500 for the Callies.
I don't think I've ever heard of anyone breaking an Eagle rod, but I think they might be on the heavy side if that is a concern.
Either way, 600 rwhp should be nothing for your Eagle products.

With so many LS1tech.com sponsors using Eagle Cranks in their short/long blocks, they can't be bad. Bad product news spreads like wild fire on the internet, FMS Cams ring a bell?
I have yet to hear from anyone that their engine let go do to a Eagle LS1 crank failing.
If and when I do a stroker build up (waiting on LS7 block prices) I will use a Eagle crank. I'll take my $1000 savings and use it to help buy my FAST 90 setup.
