The way I’m seeing your thoughts written out here is that you’re not going to put together a slouch by any means. You want to make a very powerful engine. If such is the case, use a forged crank.

If you’re building a stock engine to a medium power engine, let’s label that under 550 hp, a cast crank can do the job fine.

I go with the hyper slugs because they’re lighter, tighter, hold up just fine and cost less than a forged piston.

If your going balls to the wall, get a forged slug.
