im not 100% sure exactly how much the idi can handle but im pretty sure that they can handle up to 400hp/450hp farely safe however thats about max before you have to do mods to th actual block. but i do know they push approx. 180hp and 315lbs-ft of torque factory. hope this helps you a little

they aint the biggest power house motor and aint fast by no means, but if you want somthen that is a work horse get 4.10's with a 6.9 or 7.3 idi and you got a pretty good peice of equipment
