Realistically speaking, how much power could the stock Z handle?

Is that what you really want to do? Take the stock engine and transmission and just push them to the absolute edge of breaking? I hope you like spending money...

Guys have put over 600 whp to the stock engine block, IIRC. Who knows how long it will last pushing that kind of power though. Best best is to fall back a bit to more reasonable power levels where the car can easily handle it rather than being on the ragged edge or build the car to handle the power you want to throw at it.
