1200 at the flywheel for the crank.

About 500rwhp is the max I would take the stock hypereutectic pistons.
Rod bolts are always a good idea. They are a rather weak link in the bottom end. Rods are good to around 550-650rwhp.

Therer are guys running 9's on the stock block. The weak links are the rod bolts and the piston ringlands. The crank can take about anything.
