Not word for word asking the same specific thing you are asking, but close enough... It depends on the wear and tear on the engine. Every block is different, but 400 as brains has said is the only really level you can really feel safe at.

I've heard 500-600 RWHP is the norm, with the majority of them breaking at the low end of that spectrum.
Me? I'm thinking my 331 with a 76mm with just enough boost to push 550 RWHP, daily driven.

Don't go over 500, and you're good.

"Safe" is around 450rwhp IMO. 500rwhp and you're pushing your luck. Expect
something (like a rod) to let go.
