Default standard cvh crank limit

how much can a std 1600cvh virgin crank cope with safely?
250bhp@fly + 100shot nos too much for it?!
thanks

What a stupid question you dumb Greek.

I still run one (mine is virgin). I'm fairly sure Tim does, Oli too?

Rev's will play a big part and with 250bhp, even with the NOS, you'll not be revving it any harder than I do. No worries I'd say.
