A cranks snout is its weakest link and its not designed to be pulled on by a 
bank of monster alternators. I dont know if the CBers are using forged or 
cast cranks either but they do break.

Nitrous is stupid but probably the only viable option fo a 10 second run. If 
done right it wont destroy the pistons. A supercharger would be safer in the 
long run but thats in operation all the time.
