    How much power will a factory LS1 crank handle? I was looking at a 6.0L motor here and it had a factory LS crank. Just wondering?

    Crank form the LS1/LS6 part number #12559354 with a stroke of 3.622 (92mm)

    Crank from LQ4/LQ9 part number #12559768 with a stroke of 3.662 (92mm)

    Notice that in inches it varies, but the coversion to mm do not, don't know why !!!!

    It says that the Cast crank is known to cocsistently handle over 500HP naturally aspirated and 650HP turbocharged in street engine usage - very impresive amount for a cast crank.
