Ok, i found it a pain in the neck to pull the crank support off if I need to turn engine over by hand, example converter bolts. So, we machined down the OD of a new snap on half inch extension, cut it off just past ratchet engagement, bored open center bore for a slight interference fit, pressed in and welded with nickel rod. @ProChargerTECH what you think?

Sometimes you gotta get innovative.

Definitely. Plus, i run the Kinetic Motorsports crank stud. Not wanting to turn the engine over with the studs smaller fastener size, the mandrel mod is ideal.

Took the car for a test drive, abs light flashing. Put the scanner on it, reset ABS module now all good. Console showed up. $100 shipped, not bad.

Life Goals for sure!!! Awesome build. In the middle of similar. No sleeves but Gen2 and coolant jacket supports and forged rotating assembly. Famous last words but just want max out my P1x with 3.70 pulley 67000ish rpm. Was contemplating the same comp stage 2 cams. Any advantage over stock with the baby blower?

Awesome! The cams will be an advantage with any size blower. The more power the engine makes all motor, the more power it will make with x CFM from the blower.

Convincing enough. Probably send it!! Any drivability comments?

Drivability is same as stock!

I reinstalled the crank support the day after it was modified, forgot to post it up. Works great and adds zero length to the mandrel!

Here is a comparison from the last time on the dyno with the D1X versus the F1A94. Few items to note. Hp and torque scaled differently so gains can be seen easier. 8in crank pulley on both setups, same dyno different days. Warmer on D1X day, baro pressure higher on F1A94 day.

D1X red lines, 4.25 pulley, 65600 impeller rpm.

F1A94 blue lines, 4.38 pulley, 83835 impeller rpm.

On these pulls, iat was lower on the f1a94. But make no mistake the D1X is a bad dude and i bet with a 4.0 or 3.85 it could have made 1240 or so. Keep in mind iat would rise though. It still wont touch the F1A94. Maybe @ProChargerTECH can add some insight.

That’s awesome. Was timing relatively the same between the two runs?
