In Magnus' many years of racing experience, they would perform many selected operations to stock crankshafts to help them achieve their high horsepower and reliability goals. From knife-edging, to cryo treatment, to nitriding, to balancing, etc. In essence they would take a 700 dollar factory crank and massage it until they have spent close to 2000 dollars on the finished piece. Magnus was still left with a product made from an inferior material that had structural limitations that no amount of metal treatment could alleviate. So Magus decided to design their own crankshaft out of the highest quality materials, for the maximum strength while making it lighter than original and through careful counterweight reengineering, removed the harmonics that come with removing your balance shafts.
Magnus is now exclusively offering crankshafts manufactured from lightened 4340 Billet chromemoly steel, with cross drilled oiling holes, large fillet radii, 2 lbs lighter than stock--yet 3 times as strong.
