Default cryo treating my crank

i got a used stock ls1 crank off the site to use for my new turbo build im trying to put together i was going to use it as is, but as a gift my gf offered to get it cryo treated for me, as it will be a gift and not cost me anything i figured why the hell not. question is would it be worth doing or should she spend the ~$200(treatment+shipping) on something else later down the road for the new build? anyone with there stuff cryo'd feel free to comment on what your set up is. thanks!

All magazine articles I have read on it says its worth doing if your pushing beyond what factory can handle. Since most factory ls1 cranks can handle 800rwhp or so, I guess the question to ask is how much hp are you trying to make?

Id like to see a max of 800 but if the turbo can do more and the crank can handle it i may just keep turning the boost up to see what i can get out of my set up.
