375 is pretty stout already. I would take that for mine. Welcome to the C3 Section. Lots of good folks here.

I'm hoping you're going with a Steel crank over an Iron one. With the HP your trying to pull, along with, I'm guessing some toque, I'm thinking Steel crank. I don't remember if the Eagle is Iron or Steel. I know the SCAT has a pretty nice steel crank. Just a thought ...

Yeah welcome and if you don't get any advice on building and engine you can always waste your time reading 7 pages of crap about being a redneck and spend a few more minutes coming up with a politically correct reply :o)
