It's forged 100%, not cast. I have one sitting on my desk waiting for install. You can't just base it solely off the surface finish at first glance. Looking at it you can see the parting line from the die and you can see the draft for the dies in the edges. Cast parts usually come out cleaner to be honest. Ever see a forged rod that doesn't have surface finish machining? This is an eagle forged rod for a SBC.
