I know for sure they can handle 500 RWHP because my cousing has stock rails, lines and a 255 fuel pump and has no problems.
I do not know about 600 RWHP though. Would I have to get bigger fuel rails and fuel line all the way back to the tank ? How much would this cost ?

I am putting down 679rwhp. I installed a aeromotive fuel system from summit and 72lb injectors. I am changing my injectors to 96lb because I was running out of fuel. If you can make 600whp, put a $1600 fuel system in your car, along with FAST, b/c when you get on the dyno and pay a tuner over a grand to tune it and run out of fuel, That sucks.

i have heard that stock fuel rails will only hold around 500 rwhp. our drag car has stock rails twin 255 pumps and 42# injectors and we got 586rwhp. at about 6000 rpms the car starts to lean out so we are in the process of changing to larger fuel rails. so i know they can atleast hold 586

i understand that but the original quewstion was what kind of hp will stock rails hold. i said in my post that the fuels system minus the rails have been changed. stock rails held that amount of power. and a stock block will hold more than 300 hp. there is a toss up on really how much hp stock block will hold. some say 450 or 500. we have two cars over 460 and have never had a problem. there are several things to consider when building an engine on a stock block. all internal parts should be seperatly balanced and then balanced as a unit, auto trans and no nos. all of these things will help a stock block hold more power. we have been runing our cars for over a year and only thing we have done is change oil. so stock blocks will hold the power they just need to be built right
