I'm in the mood to gather some parts for a new build. What crank does everyone like for a Lightning build these days?

Double keyed cobra jet if you can find one. However, stock crank still holding strong in a lot of builds.

I don't know hardly anyone going double key.

Travis, a CJ if you can find it. Depending on power billet is your only other option.

Several are, or already have. There is a debate on if it actually helps, but there are definitely plenty of them out there.

They've become far less common with the bigger blowers. On a 2.9 Whipple like mine a 3.75 upper and 8lb lower makes 24lbs. The concern for spinning the pulley on the crank isn't worth the risk of removing material.
