    anything that spins turns or rotates. will benefit from being lighter and in turn make more HP. A lighter rotating assembly will accellerate faster.

    the crank will not do much if dril thru the mains (gun drilled ). and stared fly weel hub . were it will help is if the rods pins are drill help with the recip mass . if the counter wts are pendulum cut nice stuff with this done you are looking at 1300. and up. cool to look at but will not do much all the 4.250 i have built or had a hand in more than 30 engines or so one had one of the superlight in it and all the 4.375/4.500 / 4.750 cranks never did i would say it did not do much the crank is some thing i would like to see beefy to keep from moving twisting or breaking but the pistons being at the end of the rod it is nice to have the pistons not lead sinkers put your money were it would do you better my opinion it not with a light crank and for spining them up fast many seamed to spin up to 7500+ just fine but if you have the money to buy a made in the usa 4340 1700.go for it but i do not think you will not see much. scat makes one for about 1300.
