Callies has a light weight crank, just ask for it
drilled and if you want lighter yet have them turn
down the balance weights

The Callies crank looks like a nice piece, a bit pricey, does anyone know the weight?
How about the Scat Super light weight? Does 56 lbs. Sound right? And they dont show a 2.20 rod journal. Has anyone used one. It looks to be about half the cost of a Callies

I didnt see you said cheap, you wanted a good light
weight crank... you really cant beat Callies for quality

I have a lightweight, not super lightweight, Crower 4.375 stroke with standard Mopar rod journals. it weighs 66 lbs. Bryant can make you a super lightweight one like your asking about for around $2600.00 was the price I heard several years ago When it comes to racing parts you usualy get what you pay for Have you ever crashed a car at speed due to failed parts some things can be priceless, especially your life How much power do you plan on making? The reason I'm asking is relative to the quality of parts needed I've lost two motors in the lights so far, not a good ride at 120+ MPH with both rear tires locked up I've been very lucky so far, no sheet metal damages either time

Looking to make around 700 HP
I thought the Scat crank was a good piece for the power level and at a good price at about $1300 , Just trying to find out from guys that have been there and done that

Yes I was looking at the K-1 crank first, but they don't offer any light weight options or contoured weights
