Over 1,000 if it's built properly.

Block and crank are plenty tough, its rods that get weak.

The block and crankshaft will easily withstand 800-1000hp.

Yep! You're right. With Stock pistons and rods, you don't wanna go over 500-550 RWHP, which is about 7-8 PSI for supercharged cars

600HP (at the crank) is about the limit for the rest of the internals
