SCAT Cast Steel 9000 Series Cranks

Recommended Posts

Hey all

 

Just wondering if anyone has had experience with the SCAT 9000 series stroker cranks?  

 

Looking at it for a budget build - use will be predominately street, with an occasional blast down the 1/4.

 

They have come down a lot on price since I last looked so they are very appealing.

When I was looking at clevo stuff a few years ago they were pretty decent quality, most of the issue seem to stem from people thinking cause it had a scat name they could flog the shit out of them. Then went stuff broke the would cry and whinge, cast doesnt cope so well at 8000rpm

if Pavtek are running them in their 550hp 393's - that speaks volumes.

 

Thanks to all who chimed in!

The only thing ive heard about Scat cranks , is that they are hard to balance . often take a decent amount of time to balance. Some of them need heavy metal welded into them. 

 

other than that , only positive reviews

These 2 situations are heavy load applications, as well as heavy car with hard acceleration and high rpm . If you don't plan on racing or placing the engine under heavy load then the cast stuff should be fine, just like with a standard factory crank.  If you treat a scat cast crank like you would a factory cast crank you should be fine,  just enjoy the extra torque and keep it to the same revs/load limit as a standard engine. If you want performance go the forged one.
