the stock crank can hold alot of power. The block im not really sure about but i know there are some people making 700-800 rwhp on these blocks. my buddies car was making 640 rwhp on his stock block w/ forged internals.

over 1000bhp has been done on stock ally blocks by guys that have buit them thenselves. go have a look at what W2W sell and that will give you an idea of what a ally block can take with the right internals.

coming form the uk its more about small hard hitting engines over here. you need to understand that the saying "its all in the tuning" is very true! you can tune the engine to take anything you can throw at it.

thanks Chris.
