Anyone have any experience with K1 cranks and rods?

I haven't so I thought I would ask. Seems like good stuff for the $$.

How do they compare with say Lunati or some of the other companies?

Good? Bad? Thoughts???

Thanks!

K1 forged cranks and H-beam rods are competatively priced with Callies Compstar line and are at least as good, at least I hope so, as that's what's inside my 416.

I have a K1 in my 403 and have no issues. Not to mention it is a very nice piece in general. I also agree with the above statements.... It's along the lines of the callies compstar crankshafts...
