What's the stock crank good for?

And the stock rods are no better than the stock pistons?

I know damn well I've sprayed a 150 shot into a stock cast piston Pontiac 400 for plenty of time with no issues. But that motor also probably only made 350-375 horse off the bottle if it was lucky.

I don't mind leaning on it a bit but I don't want to build a total grenade, nor do I have any intentions of going after any records.

Just don't want to spend any more than I need to on this car to hit my goals. This is not my balls out no expense spared project. Just my budget beater to toy with while I work on the full on project. The z is the one I'll drive with extreme prejudice cause I really don't care about it lol.
