Default C6 z06 crank strength
All my parts are pretty much in except the crank, I'm trying to see what people have pushed the stock ls7 crank too. I know it's harder to balance with forged rods and pistons but I'm not too worried about that. Just trying to see the strength vs a Callie's compstar or k1 crank. Something in that area.

I believe the stock one is good till around a 1000 hp... anymore and you should probably just shell out the extra 600 for a forged aftermarket unit.

I'm at 837whp with stock crank/rods, and CP pistons. No issues since finishing the motor about 13 months ago.
