Hey all, long time lurker but first time posting here. Wanted to get everyone's opinion on what generally causes the whipple to snap the crank? Is it from over tightening the belt or the design from the whipple supercharger's pulley system?
I've had 2 turbo cars in the past but recently, I purchased a whipple 10spd mustang with a 10 rib setup. I've purchased and installed the preventative measures such as the mfp crank support however I'm still a bit nervous on switching to a smaller pulley size. I have a built block from S&M Motorsports that's rated up to around 1300, the only caveat is that I still have a stock crank.
I've been contemplating just taking off the whipple kit and going back to a turbo setup after reading about all the snapped cranks in the ACMR / Gen 5 Whipple FB page. Seems like the crank will snap no matter what preventative measures you take.
