Is it worth it versus replacing costwise?

If I was planning that much power I would not use a stock crank even if it was uncut. Not a good place to save money at that power level.

I have a customers car that is 0.30 Rods 0.30 Mains and makes 750rwtq on spray and beats on it everyday and it is great. I honestly dont think its a problem.
