If the bolt isnt already heat treated, then heat treating should help quite a bit. If the bolt is already heat treated but you still need greater performance out of it, you can kick it up another notch by cryogenic freezing. But the question is, which of the bolt warrants more strength? :) Because at that point, you may just as well drill and tap for a larger bolt diameter (if its possible) since bolt strength is square function as you increase bolt radius.

Schedule for AFN 2012.. help Tim get the supercharger into Evil and in working condition.. :D
 












That picture is great, Tim! One more though, but only if Evil is still on the lift. Can you get a picture of the clearance between the starter and the oil pan? I'm beginning to wonder if the mini starter will even clear the kickout...
 






Lol, I should have been more clear on the angle, sorry. I need to see the side of the oil pan, like how high up the starter is in relation to it.

i can do that.....as long as i can figure out how to take it! lol. will get it for you tomorrow, or friday. ether way, a mini starter should fit in there. i can see ford moving the starter a hole lot. on a different note however, is a mini starer even going to work? ford has a weird end on a explorer one vs. the one thats on my capri.
 






k lindsy, hope these help, and you see them right away. i think evil will be off the lift tomorrow, if not the next day.

Oooo... that last one is the only one that has me worried. There's definitely no way the stock y-pipe is going to clear my oil pan, but that's okay because I don't plan on using the stock one ;) Looks like the stock starter might possibly clear the kick out, though. Thanks for taking pictures for me, I really appreciate it!!
