Max Horsepower

I was wondering what would be the most horsepower that a L98 motor could handle without altering the inside (crank, pistons, rods...).
And what would be the first thing to go. Would it be the rods?

I'm not sure how much horsepower it could take per say...it depends on how hard you drive it.

And yes, the rods would go first, they take most stress out of all the rotating assembly parts.
