Alot! If I'm not mistaken a few have reached close to or at 1k at the flywheel. I could be wrong thought, but I do know that they can and have made some serious numbers.

I would worry about some other lower end components before I'd worry about the crank. The 1000 HP seems to be a popular number, but don't know anyone running that type of power on one.

Why not just replace it and not have to worry about ruining your new parts.

Didn't QTP run a few hundred dyno runs on a 100k+ mile LS1 z28 with a big turbo above 700hp until it finally let go?

stock crank is fine for your application. No point in dropping over 1,000 on a part you don't need.

It can handle all of it.

Unless youre building something outrageous, it will be fine.
