Default what will it take?

Ok so everyone says the the stock motor will hold about 450 rwhp and i see people running about 500-515 rwhp and having no problems.. So what ever here is my question. How much horse power can the stock block take if you put in a forged rotating assembley? I know the might no be a real number out there but i just want to find out what everyone thinks in general. Will it hold the same no matter what or do you think that the stock block is strong enough for horse power around the 550-600 rwhp range with a forged rotating assembly?

Ive been told that the stock block(not internals)will handle 800-900hp.Im at 500 hp now at the crank maybe a little better.

The pro say the block is good for 800 hp, the internals 450. Remember thatthe 3V motor has powdered rods.Over 450 do the bottom end. These guys with 500 + are pushing it. It is just a matter of time.

Ok so for the most part as long as you have a forged rotating assembly you should be good for a high horse power machine. Well that makes things alot easier.
