I don't think a 700hp mill with a procharger is the place to find out. Most of the off-brand stuff is Chinese forgings with very questionable metallurgy and machining. Get some Compstars and be done with it.

i will have to look them over, their already on the way, i know there are company's out there that buy the same parts and all they do is put there name on them.
they spec. they are from 4340 moly with arp 2000 (7/16) bronzed top bushing (identical specs as the eagle)
i will let you guys now if theirs a hole in the side of my ls2 goat in the months to come
