Default 4 Inch Exhaust

I was just wondering if anyone knew somewhere that could tell me how much HP a single four inch exhaust will support. Or if any of you guys may have heard or something. Thanks, Mike

I've used 4" exhaust on multiple 700 hp motors and have seen a few others with 800+ hp using a single 4" exhaust.

This was origianally posted specifically for a FI BBC 468 in a tube chassis trail rig. I don't have room for duals and I have a 3" exhaust kit but, I didn't think it would support the HP I will be making. That's why I asked about single 4". Thanks for all the responses, Mike
