Like mentioned around 450rwhp. Can you go more, yes, but you will have to baby it and your on borrowed time.
Also a dynojets don't always give you higher numbers, there's alot of factors that play in that part, if you are referring to a mustang dyno for comparison. I've seen one give higher and then i've seen the other give higher numbers. Same goes for STD or SAE, eveything factors in. Usually dynojet and STD can give up to 10HP more on the numbers. but not always.
I've seen a car dyno 190rwhp on a mustang dyno and later dyno 195rwhp on a dynojet.

RE: What's the max a stock engine can take?
I'm new at all this, so please forgive me if I sound ignorant with my next questions. Here goes:
If our cars can safely handle about 425 rwhp, how much is that at the crank? The reason I ask is that my understanding is that different supension mods, etc. will put more hp "to the ground." So wouldn't that mean that someone could be putting down 425 rwhp but their hp at the crank is far higher (and more dangerous to the internals) than another guy who is putting down 425 rwhp but has done the necessary suspension mods? Wouldn't this account for why some people are safely running higher rwhp numbers than others who've had engine problems? Or do I completely not understand how this works?

Erm normally suspension mods dont affect hp unless you change the driveshaft angle or pinion. Just 1 question how the hell are you gonna dyno the engine 
. Just stay around 425 give/take 25 in either direction and you should be ok. Also remember to run it rich way. Nothing over 12.2
