if i were to supercharge a 2002 gt. how much power is the block rated for before you start doing some damage.

is 450-500 possible for these cars?

a local guy around my area has pushed hi 02 GT up to 440rwhp and is not going any further. From what i have heard you dont want to push more than that. Stands for 99-04 i believe

i wouldnt push it anywhere over 400rw, its all in the tune though you should be fine anywhere under 450 with a good tune as long as you dont beat the shit out of it.

any higher and its boom, soon.

It's not the block you need to worry about it's the rotating assembly. I wouldn't push past 400whp.

I'm putting my Mongoose kit in tonight and I'm hoping for 350-360whp, plenty for now until I can upgrade to forged internals.

ok what other mods do you have, a 100 shot on stock motor comes no where near that power.

do u mean 411 torque?

The BLOCK can handle 1000 HP, but the rotating assembly can only handle the 400rwhp range with stock internals.

ok, i'm glad i searched before i asked, a question i would like to know is, when you speak of the rotating assembly, is it jsut the rods and pistons, or is the crank a pos too?
