How would a Scat crank hold up if its shifted at 7500 RPM or more with deep gears (4.72 to 5.12s), light pistons, light clutch assembly, sticky drag slicks. 

I'm thinking the Super Stock cars to that a lot.  Do they run ford cranks or after market forged ones?

The more stroke, the more flex, but, in a 427 or other cross bolted block, you may have a chance, but you'd need to go as light as you can on the rods , pistons and pins.  The extra 500 bucks for a forged piece seems cheap :)

How about 360 crank is it really forged?
I have a factory block headed for a boost.
It's a street oriented build most likely blow  thru carb and single turbo, I know it'll be on borrowed time on a factory block but I'll give it a try.
I don't mind buying whole rotating set, but minimum being forged pistons and rods.
Question being how much whichever crank will hold?
Factory cast? Forged? Scat cast? Scat forged?
