my fairly educated guess would be around 650 stock and 800 with ARP rod-bolts

After seeing how Parish grenaded his piston....I'm not sure about that. It looks like the pistons are just as weak of a link as rod bolts...potentially. I would think reliable horsepower would max around 500-550...at MOST. Just my .02.

He blew a hole in his piston because his nitrous solenoid got stuck open while purging through the motor.

yeah....I was fairly certain his was not an internal engine failure, there are RADIX'd 6.0 making more than 500hp in daily drivers so I'm pretty certain that as long as you keep tuning fairly conservative you'll be able to get 600+ out of it
