Callies always make good stuff. I'd put money that if you took 10 cranks from each company, Eagles on average would be sent back more due to defects.....

I would call and talk to a Compstar

Damn! Thanks for posting this up. I was going with Eagle, but I think I'll use that crank instead.

I personally had a Callies DragonSlayer in my LT1. I just took it out of the block, the bearings were iffy but the crank is mint and still lookes polished from factory. They stand up to the abuse.
