Look we'll end this right now..cause I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed individual.....but I must say how can you call me ignorant and assume I think I'm better than you??? did I mention that anywhere??hmm no and yuor assumption of the tech certified label......hmmmm you couldn't be more wrong........my true fellings on labels are here floating around on a thread..I'll let you do the searching for it and you'd feel real ignorant after reading it as to what you just said....but to answer your question if you must go with scat....better track record...and If I have upset you in anywayI apologize.....and don't be so jealous of the label below my name ..if you want it take it..if you feel you can better represent it have it...findthe thread and you'll see what I mean.and good night to you sir

Thank you, thats all I needed to hear. I just wanted to know which people prefeered more, eagle or scat. The lable doesn't bother me, and you didn't say you were better, but I do know what I'm doing here too.

Like I said, thanks for finally answering my question.

I would take Eagle over Scat and I would use forged pistons over hypers even if you aren't going to use spray. Just my opinion.

I like the Scat over the Eagle I have seen parts and use parts from both.But I also know people that used both and were unhappy with both. I would not run Hypers.pistons in my lawn mower I have seen many people run them and have problems with them. But I have never ran them my self the $ you save is just not worth the loss of strength. By the way the last Probe crank I got had Scat cast in the side of it. and I can say Probe makes real nice pistons. I don't think you will go wrong with Scat or Eagle. Its all cast in China but the Scat is final machined here. Unless you get one of the Scat Billet Cranks that is all made here. but they are big $$$ and are over kill for most race stuff.

I had 142k on an engine with "hyper" pistons

Not saying the Hyper. piston don't work well in stock or mild performance applications but I don't like them nor would I run them in a HP set up. I know people that have and do but if "I" was buying a kit its not worth the extra savings to give up strength. Plus if you move up to boost or NOS they are not very forgiving with the tune being off.

Hmmmm, just a second ago, my post was "awaiting approval". I wonder if this is going to be the case every post?

Anyway, back to the tech.

Generally, I'd take a Scat over an Eagle kit. Eagle does have the advantage when you're going internal balance of not taking metal in the crank. But for most applications, I'll take the Scat. Some thing to consider are Scat's base rod in those stroker kits is a 4340 forged I beam with an ARP cap screw. That's thier base rod.

Another thing to consider is, most of those balanced kits are dropped shipped. People usually stock the kits but not many fully balanced kits because there are endless combinations of what flexplate or flywheel will be needed, some people have balancer brand perferences, etc. The bad thing about this is when you order a balanced kit and they have to make it up, it goes at the back of the line. It could take several weeks. IMO, I'd order a regular kit and maybe even order the flexplate and balancer with it, but don't get balanced and than have it done locally.
