There are a few solutions out there that supposedly bulletproof the crank hub. I don't remember which vendors, but maximumpsi comes to mind. I'm guessing that anyone who wants 600whp+ out of their s55 is replacing the stock crank hub.
EDIT:
Looks like N54 & N55 engine owners should be scared too, according to Mr. Radowski's website:

And another, but Gintani doesn't mention N series engines:

I am using the MAX PSI hub solution for my N54 build. Pushing ~ 35 psi and making 850 to the wheel required a better solution.
