That's what I get for posting late... :rolleyes: Still supported a bunch of power though... My last car had a Billet crank. Forged Billet & nitride hardened from the factory... Talk about unbreakable... You ever heard over 2.6L of 4 cylinder spin to near 8k on a daily basis... 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out! Whoever coined the phrase; "If it ain't broke; don't fix it" ~ Just doesn't get it...
