Nice!!! This'll be sweet to watch.

I have a B46 and I really want to put a pure400 stage 2 in it and upgrade the pistons, rods, and crank shaft and boost it to high heaven.

Looking forward to the premier!

I have not seen any crank shaft upgrade but was told our stock crank shaft should hold some serious power.

Hopefully! However, they did remove mass from the crankshaft main bearing to make the engines lighter for the emissions requirements in the US. The B46 is the B48's bastard sibling. LOL

Although, being modular, I have read that the B46 in the F series has the SAME CRANK as what is in the B58, just missing two pistons. In which case, yeah, they can handle SERIOUS power.

Even better, the B48 is closed deck. Hello boost!
