I am wanting a made in the USA argument to erupt here, but like it or not, the Chinese forgings aren't all as bad as many make out. And a lot of the Chinese products are getting better every day, whether it's widgets or car parts. That is just reality.

Callies Compstar rods and cranks are used by many good engine builders and they are a good product, to name one.
