how much Hp before a crankshaft support needed? im looking to run around 750 rear wheel.. with a 2.8 kenne bell. at what HP will a crank support be needed.. my big issue is i dont run the cobra accessory drive.. I run the 2001 accessory drive with the blower running right off the innovators dampner... so swapping all that crap over would suck...if i dont need to do it.. just get the balancer stud??

Stud the crank snout is the best thing you can do. When you get into the 1150-1200rwhp range you’ll need to double key the crank

Yea stud and bolt are two different things. I’m talking about studding the crank. Removing it drill to almost the #1 main bearing. You can run a big ARP bolt but it’s not the same
