they're reliable in stock form to an extent at 500-550 rwhp...i wouldn't want to see much more than that on a daily driven power level because i believe that it is borrowed time.

I still run a stock bottm end. I left my tune pig rich with proly 40 horse left on the table. AF was off the chart after 5000 rpms. The stock bottom ends are usually safe to 550 rwhp. if you are shooting for 500, you should be fine for awhile.
