Yup... and no other 88mil cranks are worthy from what I hear.

OEM 88mm cranks make 1200+whp at English Racing. Manley cranks crack. Simple as that. Sucks, but it is what it is.

Glad to see they got the car back together. Hopefully no more issues.

drag racing a lighter car with less rotating mass is a little different world. But I agree, OEM is usually best.

Close to triple the power is close to triple the power. They cracked billet cranks of a few different well known name brands, including Manley, and went back to OEM.
