Arrow Lt1 rotating assemblies?

I'm rebuilding a motor for Self ported heads, Cam, and a 200 shot. Any recommendations on a rotating assembly? Forged pistons and rods would be nice but this is a budget build. That being said I want to do it right, not cheap.

I've done some research but its always a big help to hear from you guys, so thanks for the help in advance!

of well if it is a budget build then i would suggest compstar its usa! strong cheap and quality and will balance alot easier than eagle or scat in my opinion! dont go any cheaper or its not worth building and for rings as well get a decent set for spray like hellfires or so pistons are up to you im a je guy but theres so many good ones out there if your going to spray alot get a good forging good luck

Scat and Eagle cranks are not the best. Id go

Stock crank, re-condition it.
Scat rods using the bigger ARP bolts. (7/16)
Mahle/SRP/TRW/etc-forged pistons, N20 rings and ring gap.
ARP main studs if you plan on 6500rpms +

Get the heads flowed before you choose a cam. That way you can tailor the cam to the headflow.

If your wanting to spray it, I would use a forged rotating assembly, Callies/compstar, or Scat. 200 shot or more I would like to see you in a CP bullet series piston with a steel top ring. Let me know if we can help.

I run a manley h beam and custom JE piston. The shelf JEs aren't too spendy, and they're a great piston.
