Total HP on stock motor

What is the approximate total horse power the stock block can safely handle?

500-550hp at the crank with a conservative tune. Personally I wouldn't want to push more than 500 out with a safe tune.

and fyi there is no set hp to break one, seen them break at 300-400, what one achieves does not set the bar for others.

Just wondering, but is this not a technical question in the parameter that he could be doing a build and wanting to know what parts he can keep stock and so forth

if he is doing a build where they are worried about the block i doubt anything will be stock
