Default stock pistons

i know the stock rods are the weak link in the 4.6 2v they go out anywhere from 400 to 450 hp but what about the pistons how much hp can they handle say if you just changed the rods for a quick fix whats the max power you would put on forged rods with stock pistons i know its not to smart you might as well put in the forged pistons also while its apart but humor me if you guys know i would appreciate it
