Thumbs up Nick and Brook at Compstar Components

These guys are both great and their products are well made. I originally PM'd Nick (Joe Racer) about a custom cut Compstar crank for my buildup after buying a set of Compstar rods and being impressed with the quality and he directed me to Brook (who I don't believe is on the forum himself). After I managed to save up the money I called Brook and ordered my crank on July 5th.

Long story short, I ordered an LS1 crank with a 3.622 stroke, balancing and work on the snout to allow me to run an LS7 dry sump...when the crank arrived at my house it had a 58 tooth wheel instead of a 24 tooth. I PM'd Nick again and he got Brook back in touch with me ASAP, they sent me a return shipping label and the corrected the issue at no additional cost to me whatsoever.

I just got home and the crank has returned to me, packaged very carefully, with the correct reluctor installed on it...the machinework done to it is beautiful...I couldn't be happier.

These guys are really stand up guys, I can tell from talking to them that they're not just trying to market them, they're actually proud of them, and I won't hesitate to order from them again for my next engine...I already have their crank and rods for this one.

Nick as helped us out countless times, even brought over parts himself for a customer's C5R engine that we were rebuilding. Bob
