Yeah... endyne is pretty much accepted as the POS company that has all this hype, but no actual substance. Did you see a dyno plot to go with that car? Neither did I.
About the only thing that I will submit that's worth the material they make it out of is the rollerwave pistons. BUT, those are made by wiseco, the only thing that makes them endyne is the "hand sandpapered edges". I wish I were lying, but that's all it is, something you could do at home, which puts thier name on it.
Just as fair warning, don't quote ToO [the old one] here. There's no earth shattering knowledge, no ground breaking advances and no revolutionary parts to be had from the hacks at endyne. Only hype without substance.

Endyne doesn't "produce" anything. They buy parts from other manufacturers, make some minor modification to them, modifications that you can usually do at home, and then tack on a markup and market it as another product.
I have nothing against wiseco pistons or anything of that nature, I've used them before. I do have something against paying 15% more for time spent with a piece of sandpaper, because I can do it myself for .015% of the cost.
