Default How much will the T-56 take?

I have about 5k on a stock rebuilt T-56. I am about to start digging into the engine quite a bit. How much HP to the wheels will a stock T-56 hold with a good clutch?

LOL... Is the number a big secret?

Stock upto 500-600lb-ft depending on weight and driving
Rebuilt upto 700-800lb-ft " " " "
Aftermarket upto 1000-1200lb-ft " " " "

Figure out the range you'll need, then dive into details of that range.

LOL no its not. I am not really sure on what it will make is the problem. I am going to start out on just pump gas, but after all the tweaks are worked out I will move up to a meth kit. So probably 800ishRWHP at some point.
