For a stock motor they usually say keep it around 440rwhp more or less.

yes, stock shortblock is good for around 450rwhp.

the stock bare aluminum block is good for 800ish rwhp.

Whipple has a shop car that they beat on regularly. It's running 12psi. Maybe it is all in the tune or maybe their definition of beat on and regularly differs from mine.

you have head work, cams, gears, full length exhaust, pulleys, clutch, flywheel, CAI, and tune and nobody has ever told you how much HP your car can handle??? who did your work???

This came from a stock 3v motor tuned by a popular Texas shop for a young pvt in Iraq. His wife drove his car 30 miles from the shop and boom... The popular Texas shop tuned the car to 547whp (procharger)

I thought the block was good for around 600 whp, but the internals like the rod in that picture were the thing that need to be replaced after 450 whp. If I'm not mistaken the pistons and rods are the weakest part of the engine followed by the heads and cams. Can anyone confirm all this that I've said. So if you go forged internals then your safe to go over the 500 whp mark.
