Default Anyone heard of k1 technologies?

Anyone heard of k1 technologies? Im looking at purchasing a forged 408, and this is the first Ive heard of this company that has forged this crankshaft. Thanks ahead of time

Pretty nice pieces, haven't seen any problems with them. I know Michelle Sky (fasttagirl) has/had one, as well as a couple others.

For a moderate build, I'd use one for my own engine build.

I have yet to hear anything near negative about them. I know their cranks and rods are 4340 and on the cheaper side compared to most rotating assemblies you see. In fact GHMTP did a feature late last yr on building a budget (sub $10k) 408 that did nearly 600hp on an engine dyno, so they're becoming quite reputable.
