H/C full bolt on lt1 with a 150 shot

will the stock crank handle it? i was thinking about doing some main caps and main cap studs, rods and studs with forged pistons on top of a stock crank....will the crank handle that much power?

The stock LT1 crankshaft is incredibly strong and has seen upwards of 600HP successfully. I would not hesitate to run H/C/N2O.

How about that...I always heard 500 was the practical max. I won't argue as I don't know for sure.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't go much past that. 550-600fwhp is about it for my comfort zone.
