sand vs. die casting - not so easy to answer

Answer your's question is not so easy. Decision about technology and gate system depend on may parameters. To decide about die or sand you should take into account volume of components and about required quality. Forging is not possible to use? It is usual technology for cam & crank shafts.
Feeding (gate) system for casting depend on shape - diameters, length, changes in profile over length - shrinkage to be avoided, etc....
