I'd like to see some of these 1500 hp bracket race engines I'm hearing about. If, you're in the Pro classes you need the good crank, If, you're out with the Street Outlaws ,maybe, you need one. Like the one guy said, they use a BBC crank forgings, who uses mopar size bearing anymore? All this whining and crying for nothing. Buy a raw forging and get it cut by your favorite crank grinder. There are lots of 1500 hp mopes out there on callies cranks. Any big inch combo with a couple kits on it does it easy. The chepo stuff won't take it, period, end of story. Like is being repeated here, the attitude of too many mopar people is the reason a product like this is lost to us. Not being able to get these cranks in the future is a huge deal. For reasons like Al said, pay 5-7 G for a good aluminum block, and the budget might need adjusting. Well, who wants to put a cheap crank in it? You could, and still can, while they last, go with a callies, and be ok to make power. Later, it's going to be spent 3500+ dollars for a crank that's up to task. You're missing the point, 99% of the BRACKET racers in this country don't need a $3500 and up crank, now the 5-15 who do make 1500 hp (on motor) probably do. Callie's quit making them because nobody bought or needed them, the $1000 cranks work just fine for our everyday engines. You want your good cranks, step up and buy it, there's a few brands around, just don't blame the mopar masses for not buying them so you could.

Well I'm just a Military Vet Married to an Active Duty Military wife. Wouldn't say we are rich by any means for damn sure. Hard work and patients have provided me with what I have. Been fortunate enough to move up a little at a time over the years. I prefer to do it once and do it correctly for any serious race effort. Seen the result of inferior parts. Horsepower costs money and to build ANY of the bug three makes to 1000+ hp the cost does not vary much. One reason I have not had my new car out since selling my old one three years ago. Takes me time to build what is necessary to make the power I want to.

When I started my mega block build I bought a Callie's crank.. paid $2400.. I wanted a crank that would handle 1500 hp and the callies unit was the best one for the money.. that build was getting everything new.. mega block, callies crank, B1m/c heads(full porting) T/D rockers and a few other new parts... but I ended up selling it all due to rule changes.. mopar people are cheap.. they want the best parts for free or close to it.. as said.. power cost....
