I am looking for 400hp,and be pushing atleast 20 psi. My oem crank is ok,but i wanted to get an eagle crank and was wondering if eagle is a little overkill for my hp goals? I want to have something in there i know can take a little bit of abuse.
 
A completely stock shortblock 6-bolt or even a 7-bolt will be able to handle your goal.
 
I'm learning how to tune with dsmlink and just in case i make some mistakes i wanted to make sure the crank can handle it.

Crank can, but will the rods and pistons? Sure they can take a beating, but not as much as aftermarket. Mine have taken a nasty beating, so they should be good and my car has 150k miles. All cars are different, and depending on how and what the car's tune is.
