    With all do respect, it is very hard to tell exactly how much any given combination is "good for." There are a lot of given variables here and the biggest one that I can say is; It all depends on the builder and how particular he was with the build. If all tolerances were checked and double checked, all top notch hardware was used, close attention was paid to torque spec's, etc then I dont see any reason why you couldn't get 700-800 (possibly more) hp out easy. Then again, a lot of it depends on how you plan on driving the car and how often you drive it. One little thing like putting one of the rings in upside down (Yes this has happened to me once but I caught it) could have a devastating effect, and then it doesn't matter how much HP you have ! One thing to keep in mind, the higher you go in HP the closer attention to details you have to have in order for the engine to survive !!
