the stock engine block is good for well over 1000rwhp, it's the rotating assembly that blows, the stock rods/pistons are risky to use for over 400hp but i've seen several survive at 500+ and many blow up at alot less than that
with h beams and good forged pistons(not probe) you're easily good for the upper 700's or more but it's a good idea to get a forged crank instead of the iron one just because they're so cheap
