some of the forced induction guys have used it at least 600+ no problems. I have heard of much higher, but don't know about long term. go search the fi forum.

There are guys/have been guys that have made over 1000hp with the stock crank. Im just telling ya there is no difference between the crank used in LS1 and LS6.
