Seems to be pretty good stuff. Been selling there stuff in Mustang magazines for years. I've seen some Chevy based magazines use their short blocks with good results.

Cheap off-shore parts. You are much better off with Compstar, Scat, or K1.

Probe is the only vendor that I have seen rods fail for no reason, a 400rwhp 408 that the rods blew out the block on, found them to be cracked near the bolts due to a poor design - someone else built the motor, we just built it correctly the second time around.

Aside from that their tolerances are all over the place and their moderately priced pistons are poorly weight matched and of an out dated design compared to other vendors in a similar price range.
