Max HP limit for 360 magnum stock bottom end?

maca said

Hey guys
Anyone know or found the HP limit for a 360 Magnum stock bottom end?
I have pushed the stock magnum cranks, rods and pistons time and time again with no breakage. I dont rev it past 6000rpm but i do push plenty of HP through these stock parts. Anyone know their limits or what they are capable of?

Maca,

As always what are your expectations with this stock bottom end? Make it through a season, 5 years, a dyno session for bragging rights? What is the limit? Windowing the Block?
Just because a motor will put down numbers at a dyno tune session that does not give Any guarantees. The quality of the tune, the fuel, and assy are critical. Do you have a knock sensor arrangement? Are you spraying water/meth? What compression? Rings gapped correctly? Oiling system up grades? Crankcase venting upgrades? Exhaust Valve upgrades to Inconel? Quality fasteners throughout? Etc, Etc. If most of these are no then you are on borrowed time.

I don't know what is a good number, 400? 450?
