Excuse me for the slight digression, but we live in a global economy. There are no more American TV manufacturers because Asian manufacturers did it better. Toyota just overtook GM for top manufacturer of autos in the US. Just because merchandise comes from overseas doesn't make it necessarily bad. There are bad parts from overseas and there are good parts too. Just have to be a smart shopper.

As for the crankshafts, KC and Barry R use Scat products with success from all the posts I've seen on this website.

Forget billet, what I find kinda interesting is if anyone has one of those ultra-light crankshafts in their engine. Now that would be big bucks.
