Maybe their top of the line stuff (Magnum, etc.), but your Dragonslayer along with the CompStar line are forged overseas, finish machined here.

All the race shops around me have nothing but good to say about them, I'll definitely run a CompStar in my LS.

Dragonslayer is 100% AMERICAN MADE...same forging as the magnum

We also use a ton of Callies stuff for our builds here, and have had great success with their products!

We have a number of different rotating assemblies available at competitive prices, with numerous pistons, balancing, and other options too!

My Comp Star rods are in their second engine. The crank didn't fare as well.

I'm building my 402 now, using Compstar crank & rods. I obviously have no experience with how the parts hold up in a running engine, but I will say that I'm very impressed with the quality of the parts so far. Everything is consistent and of a very high quality. I've also talked with Callies tech support over my crank endplay issue (wound up being bearing related) and they were great to deal with. They were helpful, had the information I needed, and were not in any way defensive of their product. Before I even established that it was due to the thrust bearing, they were already offering to take the crank and widen the thrust surface to get me where I needed to be.

The Compstar stuff has been way above and beyond what I would expect fom it. It looks like a 1500 dollar crank and we have them in stuff from 500 - 1500 RWHP so far with basically no issues.

We also have the All American Dragonslayer and Magnum and even Billet ultra CCW cranks as well but they are a lil more pricy. All very very nice! NO problems ever with any of that stuff.

I have the Magnum XL and Callie rods. I can't wait to get my stroker done!

Why can't we order directly from you? An online store would be great.

Anyone can order direct! Just give us a call! 419.435.2711 Since we are in a highly consultative business, and most of our distribution falls on our engine builders and distributors, there has been no need for e-commerce from our site. maybe down the road.

Have a dragonslayer on the way I thought that was the top shelf strongest callies crank.. with your ultra i beam rods. the vette doctors made the order for me the crank is in, waiting on rods.

Id like some info about the dragonslayer vs magnum vs magnum xl. I thought the dragonslayer was
the strongest? 1000-1500rwhp 6 bolt 427 turbo motor.

I stand corrected, thank you.

had a discussion about this with a friend the other day. As much power as people are making on a stock crank IMO someone is pretty much wasting money on a high dollar crank if your buying a big bad crank for a motor under or a little over 1000whp. Now a good set of rods and pistons is for sure the way to go. Look at mightymouse pretty sure that car makes ~1300 also 98z28cobrakiller

That's a lot of power on a Cast Crank!
