the crank cold hold around 1k HP so your limits will most likely be based on the rods and pistons (700-800) HP for a good forged set.

Built correctly, Hell yea it will hold up!

correct. most times the only reason for a forged crank is to get a longer stroker for 402/408s

I'm using a stock crank, eagle H-beam rods and mahle pistons. Seems to be holding up just fine.
