Actually that is incorrect. Forging is heating the metal up to forge temp, forming/shaping it under intense pressure in a forge die, then usually letting it air cool.
In our forge shop we make bulldozer tracks. Pretty neat that they start off as a 6x6 piece of square bar stock.

I highly recommend the Callies Compstar rods. For the money, they are really hard to beat. I have used about of dozen of these over the past few months with great luck.

Another nod for the Compstar rod. Great piece and for the price nothing else compares. I especially like the upgraded rob bolts and lower shoulder on the rods. It really make stroker clearancing easier.
well I can tell you this, I have been dealing with the Callies/Compstar program manager for a number of years, he knows his stuff and is very meticulous. We have discussed using these rods in different high HP applications with him AND have put these rods to the test.
We have the Callies Compstar rods in a number of FI and N2O setups with no worries, use them
