I have an Eagle forged in my 331 and am happy with it. I don't think you can go wrong w/ either one as long as you build everything right.

Probe uses RPM brand cranks, I have scene the radius in the corners not ground right on rpm cranks, no matter what crank you use.mic it and make sure its right.

Eagle forgings are also internal balance, no metal required.

I have a Probe RPM forged crank that is internally balanced that required no additional metal. Its well made also.

The big issue is use a forged 4340 crank thats internally balanced. That 28oz counterbalance puts to much harmonics in the rotating assembly at high rpm.

To make it even tougher get it cryo hardened.
