How much power can the stock pistons handle?
I have been on the forums for quite some time and I have seen some poeple push 500whp on the stock block. So far here is the info that I have gathered:
Stock rods are the weakest link (especially the rod bolts).
The wrist pins on the pistons like to come loose at higher power levels.
Is this correct?
Are the stock pistons able to handle above 500whp safelty with a good tune and quality high octane gas?

I think that the question is being misconstrued a bit. I will be more percise about the question.
If you were to through the stock pictons on say Eagle rods what would you think the power capabilities would be? Would you consider 500whp achievable safely?
