Message	"it appears that the 1000rwhp is the maximum amount of power the stock crank will hold" That is quite wrong. Escort Racing and Blast Racing in Japan run a minimum of 1300rwhp on their stock crankshaft. There is something majorly wrong with that rotating assembly for it to snap like that. Crankshafts just don't snap.
