Hey Paddock,
I'm heading down that slippery slope (already started) and been looking for information/opinions on case and crankshaft modifications. I already had my case boat tailed and was looking to complete the task by having the crankshaft knife edged. Then I found this article from Neil at Performance Development. http://performancedevelopments.com/living-on-the-knife-edge/ Sounds like he's legit and I haven't done crankshaft mods yet. Thinking I should leave it be. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Shane |

my favorite ....
So why knife edge Porsche crankshafts? I think the answer points to two main reasons. First, the assembler feels good. And second, the customer thinks he is getting something really racy. If you want to feel real racy without compromising your engine, put a number 1 on your door and a racing stripe down the middle of your car. It will be cheaper too. |
