Default Crank question

i was wondering what would be better in a turbo app. a stock crank, or a lightened,balenced and knife edged crank? i have both and would like to know which one to use for my build.

I would user the modified crank unless it was not modified properly.

You can't beat less rotating mass, and a nice clean cut through the oil.

b-series cranks are pretty well balanced to begin with, so that's a win win. . . no matter which one you go with.

This question is silly, your're really suppose to be asking about connecting rods and pistons, honda cranks are already stout. As for Lighted balanced and kife edged processes these are for fancy materials that are significantly lighter than stock.

Stock balanced, not lightened or knifeedged.
