02's is a beefly block they have heavy main webbing. add a main girdle and some heavy cashflow and 600+rwhp is attainable with stock block with a stock 4.2 crank.

stock pistons and rods are good to about 11psi turbo'd with a spot on tune and about 400rwhp though i would get forged rods and pistons for that much
