So, I guess long story short, scrap the idea of using a stock crank. I just knew I had seen people say they were good for 900-1000hp, so I thought even after that, 600-700 would still be safe.

What about a billet crank? Would it be capable of holding the power minus the extra material? How do they compare in terms of weight? Edit: read somewhere else they're typically heavier than OEM due to being more dense

I'm aware this alone is a very expensive piece, something like $5k, but I'm just trying to learn about all this as I've never seen it discussed in depth.

This is strictly a street car for now, but I would eventually like to run the car in some half mile events such as TX2K or WannaGoFast once there is some more power in it.
Bryant Racing is the only Crank manufacturer I would run if your going aftermarket and knife edge. but as you stated $5k and a decent wait time. 18+ weeks when I last talked to them. Cranks are built to order and spec.

Now there is also BC and Marine Cranks you can run. BC is off the shelf and Marine is also built to order.
