Bearing choices, what to choose?
Well I bought my crankshaft the other day and need to get some bearings picked out so I can begin the engien build in a few weeks.
I like shopping at Summit Racing, especially window shopping.. And these are the options I found:
Speedpro, 110$:
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku
Clevite H series, 120$:
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
And, Clevite P series, 75$:
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
The Speedpro and H series bearings are listed as performance, and the P series as direct replacement. Is there any reason to go to the performance ones over the direct replacement? Will be on an all forged bottom end, nitrous 408 with a mild cam.
Thanks guys!

I did a search last night and seems a lot of guys are going with the clevite 77 P series bearings. I ended up buying rod and main bearings of that make/model last night. Here hoping they hold up!
