stock 302 max rpm/horsepower
what is the max amount of rpms/horsepower can a 302 handle with the stock bottom end, and what are some weak points that could be upgraded to make it stronger?

Guys are approaching 500hp with NOS and blowers on 5.0 HO's no problems. The only difference internally between the HO and truck short blocks is forged pistons and better cams in the HO motors.
