Message	Ross are forged from 2618-T61 aluminium alloy and I presume CP as well. They both are in the same price range ($850-900). Ross is sold by SZ and is used in Greg's monster Z. CP is sold by many vendors and is a part of ImportPartsPro's short block highest stage. So what are their main differences, and how can I choose ?
