Never had a failure of the crank yet.

I agree Tom. The Nitrided cams we get from Crower were finished ground and shipped in with their crankshafts to be done. When we order them from Competition Cams and the place that grinds our "house" cams they told me their process is to rough grind, Nitride then finish grind. Also Comp charges for "custom grind" when you Nitride one of their "catalog" cams.

Btw it took some convincing to get Crower to Nitride their cams. They also charged considerably more than the other two places.
