if you look in the picture, it looks like an Eagle lightweight crankshaft, but it is probably just a copy.

A copy? XS Power? I couldn't imagine that! lol

Interesting sales points...

"Aggressive lobe setting for racing applications
Larger lift produces maximum horsepower at all rpm ranges
Lightweight design for optimum torque
Computer balanced for smooth idling
Compatible with naturally aspirated engines, turbo or supercharged engines"

How are these guys still in business?!

It was one thing to offer sub-par external items....but now they offer cranks, cams, etc?! Holy chit I can't wait to see how these things hold up, if at all!

i imagine people are going to be a little more upset when something breaks and causes your good parts to be broken.

then again ...maybe we should give them a chance

too many honest people, working too hard, and actually paying this site for ad space for them to get so much FREE publicity.. IMHO

hehe.. They say it was put on a 490 hp SI.. If only they could make them a little stronger then they would be as strong as an oem Honda crank..

Ahhh, it was put on a 490hp civic, but was it ever started or actually driven, thats the question..

Funny thing is, their manifold are actually an ok design and from what I hear the welds are ok also.. If they would just make the material a little stronger so that they wouldnt crack, they would have a good product..
