There have been 560whp bone-stock b16's, albeit they only lasted a few runs before the ringlands cracked, but the sleeves can take 500whp for quite some time. They only crack when you run too much timing, have a big boost spike (lean out), or anything else that creates detonation. Most of the cracked sleeves happen on cylinder #3, which is the hottest running cylinder ...its no coincidence, as a hotter cylinder will be more prone to pre-ignition/detonation.

you should keep turning up the boost and tell us when it blows... then the psi your at minus like 2lbs or something and thats how much the block can handle.

lol.
I'd probably cut it off around 400-450whp. You can go more if you'd like.
