The block is paper thin though and easily holed. Once a rod snaps, it's all over, and the rods are weaker than the block. That being said, if deto is kept in check with either a cool enough air charge and good fueling and timing, or/and high octane fuel, stock rods and pistons can do around 300whp.






Maybe for a dyno queen? I see 300whp on stock internals not lasting very long on daily to extreme load. Even if properly tuned.
