I know I'll do an af cam next time the heads are off my motor. I'm convinced it at least "helps" to change the firing order

It would be very interesting to see what turbo set ups were the most common to break cranks as well. Twins seem to be the front runner. I would conclude that is related to how the torque comes in at a lower rpm. Thoughts?

Finally lost mine in my lbz tow rig, 251k on the clock, 40 overs modded stocker twinz, made roughly 650/680rwhp, I was never easy on it, have used it at max power towing over 21k more than a hand full of times, figured I was outta the woods if it didn't break yet....oh well, time to make improvements!

Mine had a BW S464 fixed geometry single. I wasn't running high boost and was trying to keep max torque down. Around stock levels when mine went.

Broke this afternoon on the highway. Cruising at 70ish. No load. Truck started to knock sporadically and a minute or two later it lost all power and coasted to a stop.
