Dart Compacted Graphite Blocks

Has anyone tried the Compacted Graphite Block from Dart?

It is said the alloy has been around for a while. In addition to Dart's claim, it is said to be slower to machine and requires different tools. Also,it is said to weigh less than cast blocks but more than aluminum. Of course,machining and weight would be subject to Dart's alloy.

Generally speaking,Compacted Graphite sounds like a super product.

I did a search and was surprised to see jaguar,ford,toyota,gm motor sports etc are using this technology. Supposed to be lighter yet stronger and more stable. Heres a video I found too,Smitty
