'Butcher' cranks

[Myslow420a]

Hey everyone, I found something cool advertised on DSMtuners front page.

Basically, you send in your crank, it gets micropolished and they cut it. Their design is quite cool but I'm kinda skeptical of it. Pretty soon I'm going to start building my engine for my 1990 GSX. I was wondering if any of you guys have any knowledge of these cranks? Should I go to someone better? Or is cutting your crank a sinful procedure and If followed through I should deserve my engine to blow up the car along with setting me on fire?

Thanks !

These crank's have been around longer than most of the Noobs on this website.
Darren makes a quality product.

It is a great crank and will serve 99% of the users here. Push it past 800WHP and it will start to bend and they will break.

For a daily driver that's making 5-600WHP it is the best way to go.

...although not really necessary if you don't have a lot of cash to toss around.

I do agree that Darren is a great guy to deal with though. He doesn't do anything half-ass.

Sweet, good to hear from the experts. Thanks!

Anyone have idle problems from the reduced mass of the crankshaft?
