It's probably not that the 3.0 crank is any stronger, but that there are a heck of a lot more 2.5 cranks being used, stock or otherwise. In addition to that, I would guess on average, the engines using a 3.0 crank are built to a higher standard. All things being equal, the failure rate (not total) would probably be equal or higher on the 3.0 crank.

I do not think the reason some people redesign and remake certain parts, is for fun. They do it because they see certain requirements not meet by the original parts. Often this affords them the ability to make other changes for free that make the new part even better.
There are some really knowledgeable experts who read the posts here, but never respond. You are correct Mr Vitesse. We are honored to have them here and to even take the time to read the dribble we all spew.
