I would say around 650hp with a stud girdle. Buy one from DSS. I definately wouldn't even ask for more on a stock crank and rods. I'm not sure what kind of build you got going there but 650hp is a good number. Get the Girdle....You won't regret it. As long as you keep the RPM's down to between 6000 and 6500MAX it should last you a while. But if you are reving it sky high like a vtec forget about it. I know they can be build to take a lot more but I think those may be different blocks.
This information is off the top of my head and I'm not 100% about it. I would recommend you do more research.
