Default what internal parts do people prefer

which brand of internal parts do people prefer, and they have to be forged. i am pretty much leaning on eagle for the crankshaft and the h-beam rods. would like to know if there is anything better out there. not sure on pistons yet though.

there is two guys here in town that race turbo v6's on the national stage and the m/f are bad as hell. they almost had me convinced on doing the twin turbo to my car which was the plan for a little bit but i've just decided to go ahead and the v8. its what i want anyway. not to down there cars though, like i said, theyd put some v8 to shame REAL quick. one car is a iroc v6 with a turbo and the other guy has a grand national regal with a turbo.
