Default Questions about the LT5 crankshaft. What makes it so unique?

Curious about the LT5 Crank. Ive contacted a few Crank suppliers and 2 already have told me they can build me what I want. I haven't asked the cost yet ... but I was expecting a straight up 'NO' reply based on what Ive read about LT5 cranks over the years being pricey and limited etc etc.

so what makes the LT5 so special? is there a reluctor wheel or something like that that adds to the cost?

My idea for my build will be as big of a bore as possible and as long of a rod as possible with an extremely lightweight crank, rods and pistons etc. Hollow or ti valves (32 valves is awesome until you have to buy new ones lol). If I do shell out for a build I will look at custom billet manifold options as I want to do something like an individual tb setup eliminating the Injector housings and Plenum entirely for short stacks and a large volume plenum... massive cams, 1500 idle is fine...ideas ideas..
