How much HP can a completely stock ls1 handle before it blows up?

Well if it completely stock its not going to blow up from too much power

Most people on here dont recomend pushing the stock bottom end more than 500 to 550 hp. Its been done but its probly a ticking time bomb.

there is no static calculated hp that determines when a motor will go. its all in the combo and tune.

alot of it is just rpm related. the more time you spend in the upper rpm range the greater the chance of blowin her up. just look around here you will see guys pushing alot of power with no problems.
