Turbo Lt1 question

Sup guys;

I have a little proyect going on everything started after and Idiot wreck my z28 parked outside my worked , I got my hands on a FoxBody (86 mustang) I managed to removed the engine and transmission with harness I have performed the swap on to the fox body unfortunelly I ran out of budget and so far and this is what I got:

9:1 Wiseco forged turbo pistons
Eagle h-beam rods
custom intake manifold
90mm throttle body
custom Gt4292 turbo setup
liquid to air intecooler
microtech standalone ecu
750cc injectors
aeromotive 1000hp fuel pump
methanol/water injection
porte polished heads
arp studs main/heads/valve train
comp cams valve train ( still needing a camshaft)
10 gallon fuel cell
1990 lx conversion
4000rpm stall torque converter
powerglide 2 speed transmission build with TCI parts

Now my question is , I have the stock crankshaft I can not afford a forged at the time yet I want to get the car ready is been sitting for a while now
how much power will the crankshaft handle , Im cosidering getting the crankshaft cryotreated just to be safe for a while. I know that the best way is to wait until I have the crankshaft , but I have 4 other proyect cars and the designated budget has been given.
My goal is to run 9sec 1/4 the car is very light weigh I calculated that 600-700rwhp.

Also what cam lift/duration works best in this engine with force induction

I will apreciate any help or advise.

Thanks
Gilbert

There was an 86 TA with a truck block 2 bolt in the 9s a few issues back in Car craft. Not sure what boost it was running, but it was all stock lower end.

You should make it in the 9's at 550rwhp and I think you'll be plenty fine with the stock crank. I put a lot of power through mine on the nitrous, then again on my turbo setup last fall, and plan on going high 9's this year in my pig heavy fbody on the stock crank.

the crank would be the last worry about my bottom end. rods and piston are where your money really needs to be spent.
