The poiticians can't see past their own greed and desire for power. Most politicians and integrity are perfect strangers. The majority believe that they are superior to the average American and show it by their lucrative retirement packages that they award to themselves.

You get what you pay for in life. Good ain't cheap, and cheap ain't good.

Pro-Comps and Patriots are cheap Chinese knock offs of guys like Dick Maskin at Dart, who put hundreds if not thousands of hours of development and testing into their heads.


You want to continue supporting the downfall of America, buy Chinese!

The more manufacturing plants that close up, the more jobs that we lose. A country can not survive being a "service industry".



I HOPE NOBODY ON HERE EVER BOUGHT A EAGLE CRANK BECAUSE THEY ARE IMPORTED... AMERICANS KEEP WANTING MORE AND MORE MONEY FOR EVERYTHING,,,, NOW NOBODY CAN AFFORD ANYTHING... I AM NOT TELLING ANYBODY TO BUY PRO-COMPS HERE, JUST SAYING I GOT MINE GIVING TO ME AND THEY WORK EXCELLENT.. GOOD LUCK...

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but almost every crankshaft seller uses the cheap Chinese forgings for their budget crank including Crower,Howard, Eagle,Hawk,Scat, Ohio, etc. The list goes on. The difference is how well they are heat treated and machined once they reach the USA, O'H and one bad, your Bowtie block is cast in Mexico,(but atleast is not Chinese) The only real American cranks are the high dollar forgings or the Billet cranks.
Now to cut to the chase i sell ProComp products, i donot advertise them just word of mouth. i will not use them for an engine build,and will not sell them to a drag racer, (except starters, they are dam good), only for the street, i also recomment that anyone buying the heads do a valve job on them because i've had a couple leakers as bubbabbc and Carl Hink said, they also donot flow the advertised #'s. They do work o'k on the street, but i donot use their valves. If i sell a set i buy the good valves@ about $225.00 VS $108.00. With that said, i think they are o'k for the street but if you plan an all out race engine i would suggest you go the extra bucks. I personally use Dart or brodix.
These are my opinions only and i'm certainly not trying to sell anything, hell a few yrs. ago i bought a set of Trick Flow heads for my El Camino, still on it today, they run worse than the stock 1.94 heads. Advertising sells products but most of them are just not true. If you want to go fast, do what the other racers are doing and spend the extra bucks.

I worked for a companty that bought a good deal of their parts from China then unpacked,cleaned and then stamped the part number and "USA" on them.

Point is, just because it says made in the USA DOES NOT mean it is.


Quote from SIMPSON'S WEB SITE About 5 minutes ago.

Simpson Performance Products is headquartered in New Braunfels, TX
with more than 80,000 sq. feet of manufacturing and warehouse space.
Our restraints, helmets and flagship parachutes are all manufactured and
tested right here. Simpson firesuits and crew uniforms are manufactured
outside of Los Angeles, CA in our 52,000 sq. foot facility. Simpson also
employs the largest customer service and sales team devoted solely to
servicing NASCAR customers of any racing safety supplier, based in the
heart of NASCAR country, Mooresville, NC..


My Simpson Helmet came with a Made in China sticker on it. I couldn't believe it. I mentioned it was made in CHINA before and some guy wanted to know where I got my facts from because their website said made in usa...

I then told him that it had a made in CHINA Ssticker stuck right to it., so He called them. He was told that the ones that are sized with a # or hat size are made in USA but the one's that are small med large were not.

You probably have more Chinese stuff than you think.

MEMRACING62 07-30-2009 05:15 AM

Tod, I know your rite. I do my best to buy usa but its getting harder & harder. I cant even count the number of times I have bought things that were supose to be made in usa that weren't. I guess it just pisses me of when we have co's like dart that put all the r&d to make a great product and employ people here have to compete against chinese co that do nothing but steal others work. we need to stick together and support usa manufactures the best we can, if we want to keep our jobs , we need to support the co's that our american brothers work for & they should support yours. (I DO MY BEST) . MIKE

well congress is going on vacation soon and they will be spending
time at their home office and hanging around their district looking
like they give a damm, this is the time to confront them and make
your voice heard. remind them we are the gov. and we voted
them in and the problems we did not vote on, they will be easier
to contact in their district then at the capital, we have formed
several rallies to get our voices heard and make them know
we are not happy with their performance in the capital,
and where our country is headed, good luck :(

Once a politician gets into office, their number one focus is to stay there. Most forget who brought them to the dance and the promises they made.
