RE: HP limit
With a stock suspension and tires it might be. (The rear and tranny I mean).
Your 3650 is not meant to handle that kind of power, and ESPECIALLY not a t-45. My AODE (4r70W) had trouble with 280+rwhp. (nothing too horrible, jsust couldn't keep up, needed a shift kit or new servos).
If you wanna make big #'s, you're going to have to upgrade.

i am amazed at the couple of people who think that 600 is fine on a stock engine. The block may take it but you will have confetti where the bottom end used to be.

RE: HP limit
blow what up? i still have to have mine welded. its good to see someone else that set the chassis up a little before bolting big power to it. id recommend getting the rear built before s/c. stock is only 28 spline and when you run bigger power with slick the axles tend to break. set the rear up with some 31 splines and a different carrier you shouldnt have any problems with blowing the rear.

600 is really gonna be pushing it if you still have the stock internals. If you havent already, i'd upgrade the heads and pretty much all other vitals in the top end. Once you do that though, you should be good to boost it up to 600 HP no doubt. If you really got the $ though, i'd just buy a forged block.

600hp and YOU'LL be pushing it. To the garage. Anything over 450 at the flywheel is probably going to be of short duration.
