i think that paying for a prebalanced stroker kit is a waste of money. I paid for one and it was 100 grams off. next time the machine shop will do it.
what he said , and scat isn't the only one selling a shoddy balance job on the cheap ...

Did they buy them directly from them or another source? Some places sell them and sell the extra balance from a cheaper source than scat, thus saving cash and pocketing the extra.
Ordered as a balanced kit and it wasn't close.

My machinist refuses to use Scat products. I spoke w/ him today about a Stroker we are building and he said we have to wait for Eagle to get crankshafts back in stock since he won't touch the Scat. "Too many problems and s**t parts" is how he put it.

really? i talked to quite a few people that have bought scat stuff and they all loved it. said the machine work was great. i really don't see much difference in scat and eagle. they are both from china and probably from the same company.
