More than you're likely to put out. I'm pushing around 560 currently without a hiccup.

i would not be concerned about the rotating assem. its pretty tough. you have to push it pretty hard to cause carnage.

You will need to worry about the headgasket before you need to worry about the pistons, crank, etc. Especially on the "600" motors.

Why do you say especially on the 600 motors? I know folks pushing 60 lbs boost on a daily basis with stock bolts and head gasket.
