Scat is made overseas, not sure about Eagle.

For the cast crank set-ups, Scat over Eagle...

When you go with the forged sets, both are quite nice.

Scat 4340 and 9000 are nice, as well as the Eagle 4340.

Scat has a little better finish to them, and the cast stuff will outlast the stock block easy.

Eagle kits typically come oversized and need a bit more machining.

The best point from here is to ask a couple questions:

Is the original poster wanting boost? Getting an aftermarket block? What cubic inch engine? N/A/stock block?

There is a difference between Tokyo, Japan and Sierra Leone, Africa.

Both are overseas.

Hmm...

Probe is good as well.

Until you find out where Eagle is made, I am not sure you can say that.

Not everything made "overseas" is outsourced to China
