More info on the engine type and SC please. What type of blower and how much power?

The thing to keep in mind that with a SC you are placing stress on the crank snout, if you're talking about a small centrifical blower or small roots blower for a few pounds of boost a midrange crank would be fine, if your talking about a roots style 6-71 type blower and hanging a 3" belt pulley off the end of the crank then I would go with a even higher quality unit.

Also keep in mind that for a blower with over 6-7 PSI you may want to look at dished pistons to drop compression and as such piston and ring selection could change.

For 500 HP you could use a stock steel crank or the eagle products are fine for ( my unprofessional view ) 600-700HP, if you plan to go higher boost or more HP, then I would look more at the Lunati or Callie, but you may quickly go over your budget. I use the Callie's light weight stealth crank (stroker not stock throw) and it cost almost you budget alone.

Tell us more so we can spend your money!
