Strongest Stock Crank

I have read many times about a stock LS crank handling 900+ horsepower, if the tune and build is correct. But, I have never seen anything about different casting numbers/factory applications as to which crank is better to use than
others. Is there a BEST CHOICE of 3.622 crank to use?

as long as you dont get an early model 6.0 crank they are basically the same.

You can nitrate the crank for additional strengthening.

Nitriding the stock crank often causes the reluctor wheel to fall off. They are a biatch! to get back on. Cold firing the crank is the next safest thing.
