Dont want to deal with cut cranks anymore. I know the manley is knife edged and nitrided, also the eagle has some good selling points aswell, but which do people preffer? The crank is goin in my 99 gsx which will be used as a DD thats making roughly 400 hp I know its overkill but cheaper than OEM and better then a cut crank.

Thanks for the help.

For 400hp I would look for a good condition used oem crank .. I would try some of our vendors to see if they have any laying around. Or I would try jacksonmachine shop awesome ppl and good products.:D

well oem is a good choice if the crank isnt cut, the motor did well with a cut crank before but im skeptical on doing it again? the motor came back out because of a blown head gasket that showed me some beat up pistons from a knocky tune from titan motorsports. Should I just run a cut oem crank?

I am running a oem 100mm crank. I wouldnt run a cut crank unless you really trust the shop that can do the work. But to DSM4LIFE-AWD oem cranks are to the highest quality compare to aftermarket .

Sorry LoKi. My decision is going to probably be using the OEM crank which is cut 10 over. From what I hear the 95-99 7 bolt motor didnt receive nitrided cranks anyways, can anyone clear this up for me? On another note I am somewhat fed up with this car right now so this build needs to be right!
