Default How Many Horses?
Just wondering how many horses the stock bottom end of 5.3l will handle. I am thinking of spraying a 35 shot on top of my 10psi.

I know for sure these motors can handle a some power and at least a 150 shot. But not sure how much will it hold with F/I plus N02!! Someone will help you out here in a bit!

Depends on the tune.Some say 500 is safe some say"Parish" that with a perfect tune 600.....so if you get a dead on tune for it.I'd say 500 easy.

I wouldnt go over 500-550rwhp for a reliable motor on the stock rotating assembly.

550 rwhp is a pretty good number to shoot for... i think you could definitly handle 10psi and a 35 shot....
