Question Stock Crank HELP???

I'm soon to build a FI setup and hope to make about 750 to the wheels. I am looking for info on how much a stock LQ4 crank can handle.

If your going to put the time, money, and effort into building a monster like that why not put a good solid crank in it? To be safe I would put a good forged crank in! I would rather be safe than sorry

I understand. I really can't spend $2000 on a crank though. I'll just have to not have as much.

I am doing rods and pistons. I talked to John at Wiseco and he hooked me up on some info. I have been told 1200 motor hp on them. Then someone told me 600 hp. So I'm not sure. Does anyone know if anyone is running above 750 hp?
