i'm sure this motor can at least handle 200whp stock and stay reliable. Anything above that, I would probably want to replace the internals with forged pistons and rods.. at least then you could be pushinig 300whp easily.

My GSX had forged internals, bored .020 over. I had the cyl head ported and polished..more so on the exhaust side since turbo's force air in.. no need to polish the intake side as much. After everythign was done, I had it running for about a week then sold the car to some kid.. He's pushing a good 550whp in the eclipse for 30,000 miles no without a single problem. The engine was built to handle at least 700-800whp.
