RWHP on stock crank?

How much RWHP/ RWTQ can a stock 02 (if that matters) crank withstand safely?

Harlan had to be at least 1000/1000 when he ran his 8.29 at Thunder last year. I am not saying that is a good idea though...

around 6500 rpm. I dont know what is meant by max or DD max. I want to just get forged pistons and rods, on my daily driven procharged SS and get the most boost/hp I can while still being safe. This is a daily driver so take into consideration I will be driving it almost every day. I REALLY dont want to break anything unless it is absolutely necissary.

I want around 650, but if a stock crank can only withstand 600 ill settle for that.

I think the stock crank is pretty stout.

Nitrated stock crank on the below numbers. The motor has 10k street/strip miles on it already.

Usually, they mean the journals. Polishing preps the surface for good bearing life, I would asume that is what they mean. I can't see polishing the whole crank to be necessary. I would like to know how many people are running or have run 1000WHP or very close on the stocker, and for how long...
