The Callies compstar is thier budget crank and is made offshore, and finish grinding is done by callies. They are pretty affordable cranks, and I was told by Sunset race engines that they have used them up to 1000hp with great results.

That was my first choice the Callies compstar.
I building a pair of 496's strokers and would be happy with
450HP
I wonder if the crank they advertise is Cast Steel? Or forged steel from China?

Sunset had nothing but good things to say about the compstar. They and I would prefer to use a dragonslayer or a magnum from callies, but compstar fit in the budget. Callies does a first rate job grinding cranks, and i feel they would not risk their name on a crank if the quality was sub-par.
