Slooger,I don't think the power will brake the crank,it's the RPM. Buy some decent ARP bolts and Studs and you could also get a nice fillet ground in the crank and use chamfered bearings, this stops it cracking at the journal. Those are the mods I used to do with Mini cranks. Rods are weak too, you can get Scat rods cheap and fit ARP rod bolts. I run my stock crank to 6500rpm, also make sure you have a steel flywheel.

Do you need parts??
