Default crank question

Anyone know if the crank is a 6.0 truck motor is steel and how much power you can make with it before is breaks?
91mm turbo in mind.


thanks chris

You are going to have to make well over 1200 rwhp to start even thinking about a forged crank. I guess you haven't tried to pick up too many cranks. It will hold for what you are wanting to do.

Youll lift the heads before you break that crank.
