How strong are Stock Crank and Main Caps? How much power has been made using the stock crank and main caps (aluminum block). Post the highest you have seen. N/A, Fourced Induction, or Nitrous. Also what kind of failures have been seen, i.e. broken cranks, walked caps, broken block webbing? Finally are there any processes for strengthening the crank? Cryo or heat treating possibly.

Re: How strong are Stock Crank and Main Caps? LS1Motorsports has a badass turbo camaro making over 700+ RWHP on a stock crank!
Cryotreating helps durability, not total strength.
The stock crank is pretty strong.
