Default Max power on L33 with Flex fuel

I am swapping my 04 gto ls1 out of my supra for a L33 long block. I will be going with a BTR twin turbo cam since I’ve gone TT. I will also be doing springs , gapping the rings and I’m considering doing arp hardware on the connecting rods, cylinder heads and mains. When will the pistons and rods give out ?

When you push it too hard. What sort of answer were you expecting? Crystal ball needed here....

L33 is a gen3 block. Yes I know it has floating wrist pins and even has a 1x cam gear - but the cam sensor is still in the back and the knock sensors are in the valley; it doesn’t matter the parts attached to the block, all that matters is the block itself - and that’s a gen3.

Was just asking what a general safe hp level would be.

Stock blocks/lower ends have been pushed to over 1000HP before breaking. This was done in a magazine article a while back. It surprised me too!
