I just made 520 on a small shot with a 2 bolt, although I do have a forged crank.

I really wish I would have gone with the 4 bolt, but if you dont, be sure to get the best hardware you can. Main studs are a must.

It will hold for a while, it's not going to be bullitproof but in the end something will give.

No you can build stuff that will not break, it just costs more.
