Default How strong is a Probe Industries Cast Steel Crank?

Probe Industries offers a 496 stroker kit, and in it is a cast steel crank. I was wondering, how much horsepower would it be able to handle?

Chevy high performance built a 496 using that crank they were making 620 i think it would live at that power level if were not spinning it over 6000rpm.
If it were mine id dish out the extra cash for a scat steel
