just a quick question about what kind of power the st185 crank can handle?

If forging rods and pistons, does the crank need to be forged?

looking in region of 400-450hp figures once finished.

stock ST185 / SW20 rev2 cranks have handled over 600 bhp.... if balanced and using the stock "harmonic" pulley

Agree with the above - it should be fine at that power.
