I don't think there is a Max power limit on the standard crank, the block an cylinder head will split before you have any problems with the crank. The only problem people have an that's with all rb's is the oil control issues, if you run out of oil you will spin a bearing an chew the crank.

Don't know about them being forged, but they are nitrided from factory which is a hardening process. That's why if rebuilding an RB engine you only want to have it linished which will polish it up nice for the new bearings, if the journals won't clean up without having to go the next under size bearing you have to have it nitrided again, going under size bearings ain't a good idea any way as it reduces the over all serface area of the journal.
