I have been dealing with these cars now for several years now even discuss this topic with jerry aka lancerman and we both agree that the design of a 7 bolt block is better just the crank is weak and the evo is made with the same design as well but if you nitrate the crank I think that would solve the problem besides that its an awsome design.
