Default stock 6.0 truck crank power levels

Will the stock 6.0L truck crank hold up to my power level? I would like to put down between 700-800RWHP. I've heard of them pushing more but I would like a reliable street setup.

I don't see why it shouldn't hold up to 700hp of street punishment.

There are plenty of people pushing stock cranks beyond 1000rwhp. Mike Brown went mid 8's with one for a few seasons in an LS2 alum block with forged rods/pistons and out of the box AFR 225 heads.

There was also a video of an LSx block with stock crank making 2000hp with turbos on either StreetFire or YouTube on an engine dyno.

You would be hard pressed to find ANY stock crank failures in boosted applications on here. They may flex a little at super high boost but up to 1000rwhp ..... but unless you want a longer stroke I'd say you are wasting your $$$.
