Default iron 6.0 build is crank needed

hey guys, needing some help, or opinions
stratin to build a 6.0 platform for a single turbo setup.
the goal is 700 to 800 rwhp. i will be installing new rods and diamond dished pistons, i have a set of l92 heads that will going on this setup.

my question is, do i need a different crankshaft, i have read that they are good to a certain hp level.
this car will be street driven and maybe taken to the track once just to see what it will do in street form. (drag radials)
my goal is a tire shreddin machine, with the ability to double the power of my father in laws kenne bell supercharged 4.6. (just to rub it in)

I am not interested in stroking it if i dont have to. i will let hte turbo do the work.
anything helps
thanks guys

You will be fine at that power level with the stock crank. 370's are common setups to turbo. 98z28cobrakiller has ran high 8's with his stock crank 370 and an 88 mm turbo.

We have seen many stock cranks handle 900+rwhp so I think you will have no problem sticking with a stock one on this build.
