If I was gonna build a 400 - 450 RWHP KAde-T, would I want to replace my stock crank? I mean, do you think that it will be able to handle the abuse?

I am gonna be working from crankshaft (if needed) on up through Crower Rods, JWT piston heads and sleeves, Ferrea Valves or maybe a whole valvetrain kit (if I can find one...makes it easy) and so on before I boost.

You will never in your lifetime break a crank due to excessive power production on the KA.

At the point you shatter a nearly 2" thick piece of forged solid steel you will have bigger issues keeping the 6mm thick aluminum piston crown in one piece.

Your crank is probably the last thing that'll break at that power level.... I'd be more concerned with rods, bearings, pistons, headgasket.
