In our racing program some years back, once we reached the 575-600 HP range, our cranks would only last 20 1/4 mile passes before breaking. Several broke in half, and those that didn't break into 2 pieces were visible cracked so bad, you didn't have to magnaflux them to see it. These engines were at the uppermost extreme of compression, RPM and abuse you could ever put an engine through in N/A form, so I doubt that would be a concern for you to worry about.
