Callies Magnum, its good for 1500+HP.

Pricy, but you can't go wrong with it.

I'm also running the hrc ultimate duty crank,permatoughed .080 thou deep,4340 vacuuum degassed steel,4 seasons now and it still has no cracks and hasn't even needed to be turned either. Best part its only around 1300$,made in usa too,no chinese beer can recycled mystery metal. The rods they make are just as good,I'm having new bolts and bushings put in them now at 245 hours/4 season,3rd refreshen and they still looked perfect. The shop doing my machine work likes the way mine look so much they are buying them for motors they are building,Smitty

It has been said the Bryant cranks look like jewelry.

It might be worth your time to visit with them about balancers,location of the counter balance,swap fire vs. standard firing order,key ways,depth of snout bolt hole and etc.....They would also need the bob wt.
