350 with 2 bolt mains

How much power can a 350 block with 2 bolt mains handle? The crank and other stuff will be forged parts.

Thanks

your 2bolt mains are fine, as long as your not gonna get real radical, blowers, high compression, etc, You should pump out 400 ponies just fine with your 2 bolt

Splay the maincaps if your really worried, but I think you could take 400-500 horsepower in standard form. As said above, don't push it with boost or nitrous, or high rpm, and you'll be fine.

Could you define "not pushing it with boost"? Are you talking about 15+ or 8 to 10 PSI?
