I'm doing some crank shopping and wondering which is the better buy? A 4.05 stroke is about $20 difference between the 2. I realize they're both Callies but which is better or lighter? Callies Magnum or Compstar? They're 2.10 rod journal. The Molnar uses a 2.00 rod only in the 4.05 stroke which I'm not totally onboard with since rods in that size only use a 3/8" fastener where the 2.10's use a 7/16". These are all Gen III Hemi offerings btw. Is Compstar a economy offering?
Mopar to the bone!!!

The Comp Star is the economy Callies brand. I personally wouldn't sweat 3/8" rod bolts personally if they are quality bolt. I think 7/16" is an overkill in most cases

I'm not sure who is making what. The Magnum has gun drilled main and rod journals according what I've read. The Dragonslayer is the only American made crank they sell according to the website. Would a 2.00 journal have less oil demand? This damn Gen III stuff if still a guessing game in a lot of ways.
