Just curious about how much HP people have put through the cast crank.

Wasn't Gary D. running one for a while? That would be over 400HP.

The crank is not the weak point of our cars. cast or forged, it's usually either bearings, pistons or rods, occasionally block.

Last dyno run I saw was 444 and climbing. Brian Slowe made 498lb.ft. at the wheels with a cast crank.

ALL 2.5L's are cast cranks... Cast cranks are not the limiting factor as already pointed out.

Thanks for the info guys. I have been wanting to dump my forged crank for the lighter cast one for a while now. I was not concerned with it, but a few others planted seeds of doubt. :D
