Depends on your goals. What do you want out of it, and what's your budget?

I am running an Eagle forged 4340 crank, Eagle 4340 forged H beams with the best ARP hardware and custom ROSS turbo/blower pistons. Im shooting for around 900rwhp. As was stated prior knowing your power goals and budget will determine which parts you should go with.

Stock crank is actually pretty strong there are guys on here making tons of power on them.

Really need more info to answer this question fully...What are your horsepower goals? Whats you budget..

low budget (My motor handled 559RWHP and 600Tq with a similar setup)
Stock Crank
Eagle SIR rods
Speed Pro Forged piston
ARP Main studs

Bigger Budget (handle pretty much whatever you can throw at it)
Callies Dragonslayer Crank
Callies Compstar Rods
JE, Mahle, Ross pistons
