Default What crank should I use
Hey guys. I'm about to fully build a lsvtec. And I have a choice of using a stock crank or a golden eagle knife edge. I'm putting eagle sleeves, eagle rods, JE piston. Please tell me what y'all think the best choice is.

Like so many people, you made the mistake of asking AFTER you already purchased.

I would stick with an OEM crank. I have never seen an OEM B series crank fail ,not saying it has not happened but they can handle 800+HP no problem when balanced. Knife edging is not necessary either, boosted motors like the inertia, also the reason why a stock flywheel is generally a better choice when boosting. It all depends on the driving and goals for the car.
