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

You know what's really crazy? Those "speed shops" that "mod" and "tune" these cars have a brilliant business model. Mod a car, they blow it up, fix it and mod it further, blow it up, you know the rest. I see those places with a line of cars waiting to be modded, and an equal amount of cars broken on the sidelines waiting to get fixed.
I work with a guy who had his GTI "chipped" and I told him but he wouldn't listen, guess what, it blew up! He assured me the "Mod Shop" guys all told him it would be fine! Don't worry! LOL.
Fortunately it was a VW and they warranted the engine 'cause you know they're kind of bending over these days.
Wonder what the Mod Shop would say to his wanting to warranty the engine their tune blew up!
