Some people get away with 550whp for a long time, but that's being fairly aggressive with a stock motor. For peace of mind, stick around the 500 mark.
Its not the horse power that breaks the engine apart, its the torque (wheel torque). That being said, a good tune of 600 "WHP" will be much more reliable than bad tune with 350 WHP and will last much longer too.
