Probally more then your gonna throw at it.

Safely I would say 600 easily all day.
There are plenty of guys with 100's of track passes making 600+ HP with a stock crank.

I plan to add heads, some forged internals (pistons mainly) and nitrous to easily make 550-600 rwhp on the bottle. I still do not plan on swapping cranks.

The most common number that I have seen thrown around is 800. Most forged shortblocks I have seen use the stock crank.
