Default adding more hp to the stock block???

how much can the stock block really see? ive been running 440rwhp for awhile and i run the hell out of it at times without any problems whats so ever.... ive had the motor like this for 7 months. also, i just got a aluminum flywheel and a tranny with less drivetrain loss... so if i put down say 20 more hp and have 460rwhp, would that mess with the engine hp i already have and cause the motor to blow? i would think it'd be easier on the motor and less stress. also, if i put alki injection, will that make my motor safer with more hp or will it blow it from me running alot more power out of it? because with both mods, i would like to see 480rwhp out of the stock block or more.. but im wondering if this can be done without any problems.... since in not really adding boost or other mods, just colder air and lighter drivetrain.

you car sounds insane. If you forge it, it will be rediculous.
