Isn't this just another Chinese H beam rod???

AKA Eagle rebadged?

I doubt a shop with connections in the Detroit area would push off-shore rods. I am guessing Chris is hooked up with a local forger.

"Engineered, finished and checked by Callies Performance Products"

Nowhere does it say "manufactured" by Callies...

Sounds imported to me...

Nice picture in Circle Track magazine, page 42... Check it out.

Anything is possible Ed, but there are plenty of forging sources in the Motor City area.

Edc is right! They are a offshore forging. They are machined by Callies. Almost all of your forgings today are being done in the far east. This is not a rebadgeed Eagle, these rods are of a higher qaulity than the Eagles.

Don't let Kurt hear you are selling off-shore parts
