Lightbulb Re: forged crank

TA Performance is one source. http://www.taperformance.com/pricelist.htm

That crank is just over $2600. I think you may want to have the motor out and balance everything, but what do I know...

You can get a steel crank from various sources (Anderson Performance, Cotton's, etc.) for about $500.

You need the motor out of the car, tear it down, and you need to rebalance. Balancing can run another $100-300 depending on how much mallory metal and work needs to be done to get it balanced with your combination.

Nice steel cranks and seem to be several folks using them in TSM and other "fast" classes.
