they could probably handle around 400 whp.

Zakar

i would also guess 400ish

SpeedingHatch

370 ish, probabaly ~85% duty cycle

Schister66

general rule is 1hp per 5cc

so each 550 COULD handle 110hp which makes 440hp.....but that is just a rough number

here's a rough guide

310cc 200~220whp
370cc 220~280whp
440cc 280~330whp
550cc 330whp~380whp
660cc 380whp~425whp
720cc 425whp~475whp
880cc 475whp~525whp
980cc 525whp~600whp

You can make close to 400 depending on duty cycle and fuel pressure I would not recommend it but it can be done. A good safe range for those is going to be more like 320-350

only going for 300ish on a stock gsr block

I saw in a magazine one of the Cibernations cars in Miami make like 550+ hp with 310cc injectors and their black box. It was running a weird setup, I belive it also had an fmu. The Type R ran 10's consistently. It was pretty sick. Not saying I would do it but just giving an example. I also have 550 cc for my stock block gsr tryingto get like 330hp.

go bigger so you dont have to upgrade down the road.
