the asking price for this crank is about the same as a new forged 4340 crank from crower. it isa great looking crank but is looking like hard work.

so I am tossing up whether the strength difference is worth the effort for the things i will have to accommodate, like:
-weight difference ??
-rear flywheel flange machining and/or custom flywheel etc
-special balancer
-any extra work required as a result of dealing with the above

crank will need to be strong enough to handle infrequent use at 1,500hp & 1,200 ft/lbs.
?? &the 4340 may bolt straight in.
