I have a 01 T/A M6 w/ Lt's, lid and an exhaust and I am getting a head/cam package. I wanted to know how much rwhp can a stock bottom end handle. With the head/cam package and a few other bolt on I am hoping to be between 430-460 rwhp.

All i can say is good luck breaking a stock crank. Darn near impossible from what i hear. As for the rest of it it should be ok. Of course everyone is gonna recomend going with ARP rod bolts and main studs to help. I can't really give an estimate on the RWHP a stock obttom end can handle but I have personally seen a 99' stock bottom end with heads, cam, all possible bolt ons and a 150 shot. W/out bottle he was running around 465 RWHP. It held up fine till he up'd the shot. So it's up to you on the bottom end but i say it'll be fine (FOR A WHILE)

Just don't be sad if you have to buy a new forged bottom end down the road.

Tuning is the key. There's a good handful of us in here running stock bottom ends with a shot of gas and doing ok. See sig for ET... H/C, bolt ons, 150 shot.

OUCH, I plan on using a stock crank with promod rods and forged slugs next season and hitting it with 300rwhp to get into the 9s with my daily driver

Here in the land of Down Under (Australia) we have several Twin Turbo and Vortex S/c with stock bottom end producing 700+rwhp and N/A with 450+rwhp.
