This crankshaft sprocket is designed for race applications, but is produced by the same OEM supplier Ford uses for production vehicles, thus are OEM level. This forged steel crankshaft sprocket is approximately 5x stronger than the factory powdered metal sprocket found on 2015-2017 5.0L engines and offers enthusiasts peace of mind. The factory powdered metal sprocket works effectively in stock applications but when additional horsepower, RPM, and/or the stress caused by belt mounted power adders or accessories are added-this sprocket can help to avoid a costly rebuild. With the cost of this sprocket being less than an oil change, why risk it? Also recommended at the time of installation is a new oil pump housing with billet oil pump gears for added peace of mind.
